It was a gift -ordered in UK and sent to Spain. The garment is wonderful. My daughter loves it. And it arrived in super fast with no hassles. It is amazing to know about your shop with wonderful clothing and real bogolan cloth -not fake! We will sue again - when we've saved up for it! Many thanks. Great quality garment and service.
Very fast delivery, kept me updated at all times. Good communication with the seller. Great item I would love it more if the item was the exact copy the model is wearing.
This cloak is stunning. I love it so much. I've been wearing it every day since it arrived. The pattern is unique and stylish, and it hangs beautifully. A wonderful piece of wearable art. The delivery was very fast too.
Where do I even begin??? Stunning pieces, quality material, sustainably sourced, and super fast delivery.
Communication was also fantastic. Will definitely buy again.
I received this purchase in less than 5 days, WOW! I was pleasantly surprised to receive the order in record time. The quality of the cloak is great (including color and feel). I would absolutely shop with this seller again and highly recommended them to others. I'm looking forward to enjoying this cloak for years to come. If you're thinking about getting this - DO IT! You'll be so glad you did!
love love love this cloak & super happy to have finally got my hands on it! looks as amazing as in the photos, feels cosy and arrived THREE whole days ahead of schedule. fully satisfied as always with tribes <3
Exceeded my expectations on so many levels! Ahead of placing my order, it was made clear that it would arrive a month later as Cisse, being so popular was a pre-order item. My package came through much earlier than expected. Given that other items I'd bought are still en-route, yet had no time warning, I've really been impressed by this seller!
On the products, Cisse is a more tribal print and more raw - that's beautiful but I find it less functional for being so heavy. It's better for nights especially in Africa where the weather is mostly warm.
The second piece, I really love! It's lighter so it falls better on the body & it will definitely be worn more in this climate! It's print is not as raw as the Cisse, so it can also be worn to work without appearing too casual. It shocked me that I loved it so much as I bought it just because it was a last piece and I couldn't decide which I was drawn to more. I'd recommend this seller for being so professional and of course for the priceless pieces!
First of all, I am so happy I discovered this website! Their items are absolutely stunning, but they are even better in person! I ordered the infamous cisse cloak as soon as I saw it was in stock. The material is absolutely stunning and it is truly authentic! It is the perfect item for the layering in the Toronto fall or even as a nice cover for summer. The delivery was extremely fast - and I am super happy about that! Thank you sooo much! I look forward to buying many more their items!!
At ANKA, we do not believe in the myth of predefined sizes. Each body is different and deserves an outfit just as unique. Therefore, to use this guide, we recommend using your measurements in inches (as explained below) rather than the "4 to 22" sizes.
From there you can select the corresponding international size for your order, and each seller will then be able to make sure to send the PERFECT fit for YOU!
