The Netkeeper Gown is a love letter to Ijaw fishing heritage, where handwoven nets once pulled sustenance from the sea. Crafted in open crochet, this gown mirrors the rhythm of traditional fishing nets, while its surface is hand-embellished with recycled natural beads and shells. Each detail tells a story of connection to water, community, and sustainability, transforming everyday materials into a statement of luxury.
