but who tell —
fragments of soul, bursts of sun,
memories etched in the fabric of time.

A tribute to the song of the earth and to the guardians of memory.
Elegant and captivating, the “Tana Djéli” dress embodies a ritual of light and style.

Its all-over print, rich in symbols, is a textile work inspired by the sacred chants of the djelis and African solar energies.
A vibrant tribute to traditions, femininity, and the power of movement.

🌿 Morphological advice
- Hourglass or pear silhouette : the defined waist enhances your natural curves - Rectangle silhouette : the flared cut adds movement and volume
- H or O silhouette : opt for the long version to lengthen the line, with a flowing fabric like silk
💡 If you are between two sizes, choose the one that best fits your waist size.

The “Tana Djéli” dress is a strong, vibrant, and radiant piece. It stands alone—but also lends itself to combinations that reveal your own unique ritual of elegance.
🌞 Bohemian summer version :
Wear it barefoot on a golden sandy beach, with fine gold jewelry or natural stone necklaces.
Add a scarf tied in your hair or a large hat to accentuate its mystical aura.
🌆 Urban and chic version :
Pair it with an oversized linen jacket, minimalist heeled sandals or sculptural mules.
Opt for a structured mini bag or a hand-woven artisanal basket.
🌙 Solar evening version :
Slip on a long, flowing coat, add statement earrings and makeup with copper or gold highlights.
The dress then becomes a modern incantation, a tribute to sacred femininity.
