Nsu Bra or Nsu Bura

An Akan word for well. The tiny dots which are in a spiral form resemble the ripples made in a well after water is fetched from it or when a stone is dropped into its depths. This fabric can be sewn into dresses, shirts, shorts, etc.

Its varying colors and bold print renders it versatile and confident.
