The Jirin collection along with all of our garments and accessories are made in Nigeria, the native home of Besida founder Sophia Danner-Okotie .
Like the name Besida, meaning destiny determines all, the name Jirin is also from the Itsekiri language.
“Patience is a virtue we all have to embrace in order to fully enjoy life. Part of how I’ve embraced the waiting process is by watching the process of things unfolding, instead of anticipating the big finale. This perspective shift helps me push through the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Take a stab at trying to pronounce the name Jiringho.
