Netherlands Woven Jersey Ai Waka

Adopting and reinterpreting other cultures is often experienced as something negative in the Netherlands, and Ai Waka agrees with this in many cases.
Culture should be shared, not appropriated.

Yet we believe there's one element in which the Netherlands has truly created something unique : Delftware . What once originated from Chinese influences has evolved into a style recognized worldwide today as quintessentially Dutch .

In the Netherlands, Jersey , we use Delftware as a symbol for that dual reality: the intersection of inspiration and identity . Just as the Netherlands once brought batik to Africa, where those influences later contributed to the development of Kente , we see how traditions continue to evolve, blend, and gain new meaning .

The Ai Waka Nederland Jersey celebrates precisely that process:
the moment when history, culture and creativity come together and something new is born that keeps the world moving.

Made to be worn with pride and awareness
