Timeless Fashion
We love embracing the old along with the new. Our new African print dresses collection showcases the union between classic African fashion with a contemporary twist. Each of our garments from the new collection is designed and handmade in the UK. Our collection comprises of modern African dresses, skirts, blouses, bustiers, shorts and tops, all tailored by our team of designers to flatter the feminine silhouette. Fast fashion comes and goes, but at Sika’a, we create pieces that are unique and timeless. Our classic cuts and historical prints make each piece a wardrobe highlight that you can wear for any season.
Authentic African Wax Print Fabrics
All our new African fashion dresses are carefully crafted using the finest materials and natural fibres, including wax cotton and super wax cotton, which have a deep connection with Africa’s fashion heritage. Supremely soft and breathable, we primarily use premium cottons, silks and similar fabrics like crepe de chine, that are soft against the skin and durable. We are proud to have collaborated with Vlisco, the original Dutch wax print company, renowned for their quality and innovation in beautiful fabrics, and a long-standing connection with Africa.
The Scarf Edition: How Should You Wear Yours?
No longer is a scarf just an accessory; now a scarf is a must-have fashion garment in its own right. With the cooler days of autumn approaching, now is the perfect time to not only wrap up warm, but update your style with the must-have trend for the season.
For so long, a scarf has been seen as an afterthought. Something to add to an outfit for another layer of warmth. However, a scarf is the epitome of effortless style. It doesn’t simply add to an outfit; it makes an outfit. The big question when it comes to scarves is; how do you wear yours?
If you want to update your look for autumn, our senior designers offer their top tips on how to wear your scarf for instant autumnal style and glamour.
Scarf Appeal: Three Ways To Wear It
At Sika’a, we make sure there is a scarf for every outfit, offering both square and rectangular ethically created, hand-painted scarves. Our senior designer explains the best ways to wear your scarf to update your look.
Hang Loose
Letting your scarf do the talking is the best way to update any outfit, for work and play. Our gorgeous silk scarves are meticulously hand-painted with stunning African designs that deserve to take the spotlight. Creams and a neutral palette are the must-have coat colours for the season, giving your beautifully bright scarf the platform it deserves.
The Braid
It is a little fiddly to create, but the weight will help your scarf to stay in place in the autumn breeze. The Sika’a long scarves work perfectly for this trend where you take both ends of the scarf and start to weave them into the middle of the scarf when hanging around your neck. The finish is chic, sharp and prevents that awkward blustery tangle.
Belt it
For those in-between days where a coat isn’t necessary, style up your top-half with a long scarf, let it cover your shoulders and hang in front, displaying its gorgeous design and colours. Then nip yourself in at the waist with a belt. Our 100% silk scarfs will feel super luxurious and give you a showstopping look that everyone will want to replicate.
Make It Your Own
