THE UGO SHIRT

In Igbo culture, “Ugo” represents more than just the term for “eagle”; it symbolizes greatness, nobility, and distinction. The eagle is admired for its ability to soar above others, embodying qualities like fearlessness and focus—traits that are reflected in the wearer of this apparel.

Inspired by traditional African motifs and the natural world, the Ugo shirt features bold leaf prints that signify growth, freedom, and a deep connection to the land. 

The vibrant orange and green color palette reflects the richness of African soil and the warmth of the sun, representing a blend of strength and vitality.

Designed for the modern-day king, the Ugo shirt is made for those who walk with purpose, speak with style, and proudly embrace their culture.

Each Austine Mali piece is made from small batches of hand-dyed textiles using batik wax for unique colours and prints.
