Traceability & Commitment
Each Okani shirt is made to order in our partner workshops in London , known for their expertise in making ethical luxury clothing.
This approach guarantees a responsible production process, without overstock or waste , where each piece is made only when it is desired.
The fabric, selected for its breathability and durability , comes from certified suppliers that meet European environmental standards.
The inks used to print the pattern are environmentally friendly , free of harmful solvents, ensuring both vibrant colors and respect for the skin .
Each creation carries within it a double promise:
that of a sincere luxury , born from slowness and precise movements,
and that of a living cultural heritage , celebrating Gabonese identity through contemporary design.
Patterns & Visual Universe
The visual universe of the Okani shirt is inspired by the spiritual landscapes of Gabon — where the sky, forest, and sea interact through light.
The pattern, drawn as a symbolic language, blends stylized birds, solar spirals, and plant arabesques , recalling the sacred bond between man and nature.
The Okani bird, at the heart of the composition, embodies the freedom and nobility of the vital breath. In tradition, it is a messenger, guardian of memory, and a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds. Its flight, rhythmic in its symmetrical lines, evokes the perpetual movement of life and the quest for inner balance.
Emerald green dominates the room—a symbol of vitality, hope, and regeneration—while golden accents evoke the regal light of the Gabonese sun , a source of prosperity and inspiration. These colors merge in a geometric pattern that evokes ancient fabrics revisited through a contemporary lens .
Every detail of the drawing pays homage to Gabonese art in its finest dimension: that of time, gesture, and meaning .
Thus, Okani is more than just a shirt: it is a modern talisman, an adornment that tells the quiet power of African identity in the world of international luxury.
Style Tips
The Okani shirt is worn as a subtle statement — that of a free spirit who knows how to combine tradition and modernity.
Its flowing cut and breathable material allow it to span the seasons with the same ease as a warm breeze over the bay of Libreville.
- For an urban and refined look:
Pair it with beige, cream, or pearl gray pleated trousers, slightly tapered, and soft leather loafers.
A copper bracelet or a simple watch will emphasize the natural presence of the look, without detracting from its elegance.
- For a casual elegance:
Wear it open over a white t-shirt or an organic cotton tank top, with raw denim jeans or linen trousers.
The contrast between the simplicity of the bottom and the richness of the pattern creates a subtle balance — a luxury that breathes.
- For an appointment or a ceremony:
Slip it under a light jacket, in sand, ebony or olive green.
The golden reflections of the fabric will interact with the ambient light, revealing the garment's sunny character.
This piece is for those who cultivate a sincere elegance: one that doesn't seek to impress, but to express an identity .
With Okani , every gesture becomes a ritual, every movement tells a story of belonging — both intimate, cultural, and universal.
Manufacturing on Demand
At Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï , each creation is born from a desire, never from a stock of materials.
The Okani shirt is made to order only , in our London workshops , according to the standards of luxury tailoring.
This approach guarantees a garment that is thoughtful, desired, and anticipated—a textile work that comes to life in the controlled slowness of the artisan's craft.
No piece is produced without reason: each shirt bears the name, intention, and story of the person who orders it.
This method, inherited from haute couture, opposes the logic of overproduction and places clothing back at the heart of intimacy—where art meets responsibility.
By choosing a made-to-order creation, you are participating in a more conscious vision of luxury:
that of the right time , respect for resources , and the value of the human touch .
Thus, each Okani shirt becomes an object of meaning—both personal and universal—celebrating a way of inhabiting the world with elegance and intention.
Maintenance & care
The Okani shirt is an exceptional piece that deserves the same attention as that given to its creation.
Its fabric, chosen for its softness and lightness, deserves delicate care in order to preserve the brilliance of its emerald and gold hues.
Maintenance recommendations:
- Wash at low temperature (30°C / 86°F) , delicate cycle or by hand.
- Use a mild detergent , without bleaching agents.
- Do not twist or wring the garment: let it drain naturally.
- Dry flat or on a hanger , in the shade, to preserve the vibrancy of the colors.
- Iron at low temperature , inside out, to protect the print.
- Do not dry clean.
Each wash is a ritual: a slow and conscious gesture that prolongs the life of the garment.
By taking care of your Okani shirt , you honor the work of the artisans, the memory of the pattern, and the philosophy of sustainable luxury that the house defends.
