Talking drums delivering a message. A race through bush paths as the beat speeds up. A dip in the river and a bit of excitement. The king has summoned you into his "afin" (palace). Wrap yourself in your indigo blue. No Wahala now. Put on rest, your sense of honor and humility too. You never know what might be bestowed upon you.
-The Perfect Mirror
Our seriously cozy relaxed unisex fit hoodie is soft on the outside with our vibrant signature No Wahala Seal Print - and even softer on the inside with a brushed fleece.

Designer's Journal Entry:
The word Wahala in the Yoruba language of Nigeria means “trouble”
Over time, this popular term “No Wahala” has been adapted into the Nigerian Pidgin English dialect to mean no problem, no worries, no trouble, or no stress!
See, I have a lip-smacking appetite for period pieces and the ancient traditional. Yoruba movies set in the "afin" (palace) of the king used to bring me quite the sizzle and spice. Was it the dramatic myths and legends or just seeing all those women wearing their monochromatic indigo blue patterned wrappers? From the queens to the servants, this was a trend!
