This blue coral bead fringed Akwete lampshade hat was created to personify the celebration of contrasting cultures.

​

The prominent lampshade silhouette popularized in 1950s western fashion, and the use of Akwete; an intricate fabric exclusively woven in its namesake town in Eastern Nigeria, and coral beads; a symbol of wealth and chieftancy in the igbo culture, make this piece a love child of the cultures it represents.
