If you take a closer look at our page, you’ll notice that the names of each of our pieces are distinct. Many of these names pay homage to the places where the garments were born. Want to dig deeper? Take the amazing Aso Bamdele, for example. It literally translates to “the cloth has followed me home.” Bamidele is a popular name in Yoruba culture. Or perhaps you’ve seen the famous Bimpe dress, named after our founder’s mother, which means “I was born complete.”
When you shop a Max Koya piece, you’re not just supporting a small business—you’re also becoming part of our story, which celebrates African roots, deep traditions, and ways of being.
