Waju Akwete Statement Shacket

Product Details

A distinctive contemporary shacket crafted from handwoven Nigerian Akwete textile, blending traditional weaving heritage with a modern relaxed silhouette. Its intricate geometric pattern combines black, burnt orange, mustard yellow and ivory-grey, creating a bold graphic statement. Designed with a structured shirt collar, short sleeves and front zip closure, it features a fully lined interior for comfort and refinement. The slightly oversized fit makes it an effortless statement layer, perfect over a T-shirt, knitwear or lightweight shirt. A modern expression of Nigerian craftsmanship designed for everyday wear.

Dry cleaning is recommended. If washing is permitted, gently hand wash in cold water. Do not bleach, wring, or twist the garment. Reshape gently while damp and dry flat or hang carefully away from direct sunlight. Iron on the reverse side using a cool setting, avoiding excessive heat directly on the woven motifs. Store folded or on a suitable hanger in a dry place.
