About Oya Abeo

Founded by Samiat Salami and inspired by her childhood in Lagos, Oya Abeo draws from centuries-old Nigerian textile traditions to create modern whimsical and artful handprinted textiles that celebrate the colors, textures, and landscape of Nigeria. Our prints are created digitally in our studio in Lagos, Nigeria before they are hand-drawn and hand-dyed by Batik Artists. Our culture is a never-ending source of inspiration for our prints. We love bright, happy colors that capture the tropical flora and fauna of Western Nigeria. The earthy textures of the North and the geometric shapes in the East. As Nigerians, we descend from a long line of people who will take any chance to dance and jaiyé (celebrate life), and we take this ethos into our work. Oya Abeo is a festive celebration of daily life explored through loungewear and home textiles that simplify and elevate daily existence. Read their story
