Mino Pullover Vest

The inspiration for this design is a pattern found in a bronze sculpture from Benin, West Africa. Mino - meaning “our mother”, is the name given to an all-female military regiment from the Kingdom of
Dahomey (now Benin). These female warriors were immortalised in the highly successful Black
Panther film.


The vest (tank top in the UK) is a scoop neck garment designed for wearing over a shirt or top with short or long sleeves, and the overall look is inspired by the traditional uniforms of many British
schools.
