After establishing a close business relationship with artisans based in Togo, she experimented with the Kentè League handwoven fabric, which boasts multiple patterns in bright colors coupled with geometric shapes and gallant shipshape designs. The designer also patented her own take on the traditional Yoruba fabric, crafted from linen and the first Stretch Kentè textile obtained by adding stretch threads.
