Straight from the inspiration boards - here's where the prints and colors come from:
- Black & White - always a classic, we thought it would be fun to turn this market print into a simpler version of itself in a timeless combo of black & white
- Shiva Swirls - East Africa boasts a tremendous number of Indian influences - Shiva Swirls pulls from this contribution to eclectic urban African culture - the light blue swirls are reminiscent of Shiva, the Hindu deity found so many shrines throughout the region
- Sipi Falls - far to the east of Kampala, Mt. Elgon stands in it's glory, rich with volcanic soil and shaded groves of coffee - Sipi Falls plays on the watery dance of the waterfalls of the same name that cascade down Elgon's slopes
- Coffee & Cream - thanks to Uganda's natural wealth of good coffee and some excellent entrepreneurial skills, coffee shops are popping up all over the country, and East Africa is developing a cafe culture
