On the east coast, snow is pummeling down while the temperature sits at a cool 30 degrees. It's one of those days that reminds us, despite the uncharacteristically warm weather we've had as of late, it's January and it's still winter. Contrarily, though, we stumbled across a new collection which also serves as a reminder spring is right around the corner. That means warm weather, sunshine, and new clothes, and we think we'll begin our search for the perfect spring attire right with <a href="https://ifes-closet.myshopify.com/">Ife's Closet</a>.
The London-based brand is the creation of design duo Titi and Tinuke Ukrinamemen, Nigerian sisters who make sure all clothing is ethically made in the UK. So far, Titi and Tinuke have successfully launched two clothing collections, and their third, <a href="https://ifes-closet.myshopify.com/collections/new-in">My Heart Skipped A Beat In Cuba</a>, was inspired by their first trip to Havana.
<blockquote>“Cuba was a breathtaking experience of culture, color, and style that unexpectedly inspired our latest collection," Tinuke Ukrinamemen explained. "Experiencing and watching the dancers in the taverns of the historic town of Trinidad, women dressed in Bata Cabañas and gélés in the squares of Habana Vieja, to men in traditional Guayabera, smoking tobacco whilst playing checkers on the bay of Cienfuegos. The more we walked the streets of Cuba making memories of each cobble and skirmish of rust and color, it was with each moment that the collection sprang to life. My Heart Skipped A Beat In Cuba is a clash of twists and turns; it’s feminine and vibrant, mixed with old favorites with new dimensions."</blockquote>
The collection is a mix of jumpsuits, midi skirts, boho tops, and dresses in West African prints that'll make you want to book a flight to Cuba by the end of the day. Check out some of our favorite pieces.
