The Emaali polo, in hand

The Emaali polo, in hand
The first sample of the Heritage Black edition: buttoned collar, the Emaali crest on the chest, a grey sun motif above a row of dancer silhouettes, one leopard-print sleeve, and a photographic band along the hem.

The first physical samples of the Emaali polo were photographed on 14 August 2026, in the two editions the Festival will offer: Heritage Black and Ivory.

Each shirt carries the circular Emaali crest — Ikon Ikoku Eyauni — on the chest, a radiating sun motif across the front, and a row of dancer silhouettes below it. One sleeve is cut from leopard print, and a photographic band of a crowd in dancing dress runs along the hem.

The Heritage Black edition prints its sun and dancers in grey on black; the Ivory edition prints them in gold on white, with olive-green neck and cuff trim. Two black samples were photographed, one with a buttoned collar and one with a pale gold V-neck.

Both editions will be offered in sizes S–XXL through the Festival Shop.
