Indigo & Salt
Yetunde Salami
Yetunde Salami dyes every length of indigo herself in an Abeokuta courtyard before it becomes a dress.
The hand
“Adire cannot be rushed; the cloth goes back into the vat until the blue is deep enough to hold a shadow.”

Construction detail
This is what the price buys: resist dyeing, bias cutting, draping — finished by hand and checked at close range before anything leaves the workroom.

Terms
Yetunde's commissions typically fall between $400 and $2,400 (quoted and paid in sterling, £300 – £1,800), with a lead time of around 7 weeks. A deposit secures the slot and fabric; the balance is released in stages you approve as the garment takes shape. Every piece is quoted on its own brief — there is no tariff.
Verified, and what that means
Everrissa checked Yetunde's identity, workroom and past work before this atelier was listed, and every commission is run through Everrissa's milestone payments.
Reviews are earned, not imported.
Only a client whose commission with Yetunde has been completed through Everrissa can leave one here. The first will appear when the first piece is delivered.
