Stool

The stool symbol is the key feature of this fabric and its name simply implies that, ‘if you want to talk about me, take a stool and sit down.’

African proverbs are laden with humorous sayings but which nevertheless have deeper meanings. This design hence explains the African tradition which states that if you want to talk about someone, don’t just stand around talking , it is more appropriate for you to sit down and take your time to say what you have in mind.
