About Heritage Clothings
About Heritage Clothings
Hi, I’m Yomi — the founder of Heritage Clothings.
I was born and bred in Abeokuta, Nigeria — a city where fabric isn’t just worn, it’s language. Home of Adire, home of the Egba.
My father wasn’t a tailor. But whenever he had his clothes made — Adire, Egba cloth, lace, lining — he’d save the leftovers and have them sewn into something for me. Nothing was wasted. Every offcut became a little dress, a bit of beauty made from love and thrift. That’s where this all started.
By day, I’m a GP here in the UK. Yes, really. Heritage Clothings was born in the space between clinic days and school runs, when I kept searching for Ankara pieces that felt the way those childhood dresses did — rooted, intentional, made with care. When I couldn’t find them, I started making them.
What we make
Traditional African fabrics in contemporary silhouettes — pieces you can wear to a wedding, a meeting, or a Saturday school run without needing to change. Every piece runs UK 8 to UK 22. Free UK shipping on every order.
Heritage, worn every day
To us, heritage isn’t locked in the past. It’s something you wear, carry, and pass on, the way my father passed it to me, one leftover piece of cloth at a time. Welcome. You’re part of the story now.

dress review
This is a well made dress - very eye catching and unique. Made from a very thick heavy cotton that is perhaps a little too warm but apart from that, it's beautiful.
Absolutely stunning
Absolutely stunning dress, excellent quality and a really nice fit (I am a size 18-20, I usually go for 4XL on the more fitted dresses, I could have probably gotten away with a 3XL on this one).
