1. Traditional Textiles & Ethical Clothing from Osei Duro
Molly Keogh and Maryanne Mathias are the designers behind Osei Duro, an ethical clothing line based in
Accra, Ghana. They wanted to create clothing using textiles and garments produced by local workers
and artisans, all using traditional hand dyeing and weaving techniques.
Osei Duro is providing a living wage for local women and craftsmen who come from slums, helping
create a sustainable garment industry in Ghana. You can read about some of the artisans who
contribute to Osei Duro on one of a Kind.
Osei Duro’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection features ocean blues, bright pinks, and desert oranges, all in
bold, beautiful patterns. We love the intense colors and bold pattern of the Slant Trousers!
Perfect for hot summers, Osei Duro also has a great line up of knee length and maxi dresses in different
styles. We’re especially fond of their dresses in Lava.
Their expanding jewelry collection includes pieces made out of recycled brass and powdered glass. The
brass necklaces will add a bold accent to your look, and will easily coordinate into any outfit.
To dye the clothing, artisans use natural fermented minerals and plant pigments. The patterns are all
dyed onto the fabric by hand. Because the cloth is hand-dyed and woven, no two pieces are exactly the
same.
Osei Duro also recently took a research trip to India in hopes of expanding their collection. Eco
fashionistas can look forward to seeing some Indian-inspired patterns and textiles in the coming
seasons.
You can order Osei Duro online, or find a store in the USA, Canada, or Europe that carries the brand.
