A regal ode to African heritage, the Ashanti Kingdom Shirt is a wearable tapestry of tradition and power. Dominated by a commanding scarlet beetle motif, this shirt draws from the rich symbolism of the Ashanti people where scarabs evoke transformation, resilience, and ancestral wisdom.
Crafted from a luxurious viscose, the fabric resembles stitched patchworks, echoing the layered narratives of royal Ashanti textiles. Shades of earth, rust, and charcoal form a rhythmic pattern, suggesting the passage of time through sacred cloth. At the collar, a bold black real patchwork contrast anchors the design, evoking authority and balance.
The silhouette is relaxed yet intentional: a boxy fit, short sleeves, and fluid drape allow movement without sacrificing structure. The embroidered beetle rendered with striking 3D visual texture becomes a central emblem, not just a design. It stands as a protector, a guide, a symbol of legacy.
