Sugar Cane and Sankofa Collection
This collection was inspired by African textiles - kente and Adinkra fabrics. The brightly coloured, rhythmic designs of Kente weaves and the decorative motifs used in the Adrinka cloth encouraged Tamara to; through storytelling looking back on her ancestral’s journey to the Caribbean during the time of slavery, has inspired her to create new narratives through her woven fabrics. Tamara internalised with this period of history and fittingly included it in this scarf collection to pay homage to her ancestral land, returning to her roots.
The Sankofa motif used in this collection carries the meaning, ‘to go back and fetch.’
All made from Merino and lambs wool.
