BRAIDED TRADITIONS: KNITWEAR DESIGNER - PEJU OBASA

“Breanna”

Homage to my first Barbie Doll

 

“Breanna” by Peju Obasa - @pejuobasa, - A yarn bombing homage to Breanna, my first Barbie doll. With Breanna, my fascination with braiding found its playground!

Introducing Peju Obasa  a womenswear designer based in London. her work is rich in colour and texture, embracing printing /dyeing and tenacious knitting techniques to create innovative pieces. her vibrant Nigerian roots mean that she is continually exploring old traditions and then turning them into the unexpected. starting from a strand of yarn and ending as a beautiful handmade piece.  taking inspiration from her curiosity travels and everything from the food she enjoys to cook to the colourful building facades on random streets. Sustainability is at the core of our brand and we aim to design with a conscious mind using eco-friendly materials.
