The Adara Foundation and TAN Collaborate demonstrates how women can join
forces to create significant market opportunities for low-income women.
The collection features a selection of styles by TAN, which utilizes a
delicate blend of modern sophistication and glamour, offered at the
right price point.
All the textiles used in the collection were
painstakingly designed, hand painted and printed by 24 women who as a
result of the collaboration are benefiting improved income and hopefully
broader markets for their skills and textiles.
Through EWARE (Empowering Women in Arts and Related Enterprises), Adara
Foundation trains financially challenged women to be skilled artisans,
knowledgeable about and able to produce and trade profitably in the best
quality adire, tie and dye and batik paint.

produced inputs and partnering with local and African artists and
artisans to deliver fashionable and culturally authentic products.
Tiffany Amber and Adara Foundation share a common goal in deepening the
fashion industry in Nigeria by creating a platform for creative fabric
