When Nnamdi was a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the late 1970s, other students admired the African designs he wore and begged him to make clothes for them. He began selling clothing on campus and later turned it into a full-time business. Nnamdi and Uzo have taken this business to a new level. Nnamdi Batik Art features 100% cotton one-of-a-kind, intricate, and gorgeous hand-crafted and hand-dyed clothes for their numerous fans that keep coming back for more.
