Fabric has long played a powerful role in history, spanning the globe as it weaves its fibres across all continents.  Weaved by wise hands and philosophers, with the use of intricate techniques that adorned royalty, protected warriors before they entered battle and clothed those in the moment that transcended them from this realm into the next. Fabric across history and cultures has played a poignant part within various ancestral frameworks, all placing individual meaning and importance on every aspect. From how it is weaved, the hands blessed to weave it, the colours used to cultivate the design and the messages embedded within the fabric, design and pattern that bless the wearer with powerful proverbs, healing powers or spiritual release.

Fabric is one of the most important components of an Ozwald Boateng garment. Paying homage to his Ashanti ancestry, each colour, weave pattern and design is intricately considered to tell a powerful spiritual story. Every colour holds a spiritual significance,  supporting in acting as a cloak of armour for the wearer. These bespoke patterns and intricate designs are the heartbeat of the brand.  

Working directly with our mills we choose the fibre, create the weave, and the colour to produce bespoke cloth exclusive to Ozwald Boateng.  A unique approach to fabrication, rich in texture, colour and substance, which becomes a  second skin. These elements enhance the experience and create an emotional connection between the clothes and the wearer. 

Colour has a lot of meaning; it is spiritual and can induce powerful emotions. When appropriately combined, it evokes confidence, style and individuality.

Colour has long had a spiritual connection with varying tribes, understanding the importance of weaving certain colours together or placing more importance on specific colours dependent on the wearer's purpose or intention. Spiritual colours have the power to evoke a deeper sense of self, provide a profound sense of grounding and clarity, only through the cloth.
