About the Print: Ade + Ayo's Maji print is a bright batik-inspired print featuring cowrie shells. The batik style of textile production is an ancient technique, with traces of it seen in the wrappings of Egyptian mummies. It is a wax-resistant dyeing technique. Designs are printed or drawn onto cotton using melted wax; then the fabric is dyed and the parts of the fabric that were covered by wax resist the dye. When the wax is removed, the original background color of the fabric emerges. West African-style batik fabrics are cherished in the region. The designs feature images and geometric shapes that hold special cultural significance, each telling a unique story. 

About the Style: The unisex long sleeve top brings our vibrant prints to a classic style. The soft, stretchy fabric pulls easily over your toddler’s head and gives room for a snug or looser fit. Dress the top up or down, depending on your plans for the day!
