Cult brand Dye Lab revisits old dyeing techniques and styles and fabrics with a bit of a modern spin to create the ultimate versatile loungewear.

Over the last few years, the resurgence of the traditional artform has recaptured most hearts. With electrifying colours and dazzling geometric prints, Dye Lab’agbadas revisits Adire in contemporary silhouettes.
