A very special checked cloth, handwoven in narrow strips from soft textured cotton thread dyed with indigo in various shades of blue. Stitched together by hand.
This cloth was woven in the Bondoukou region of Côte D’Ivoire. Due to its border with Ghana, the textiles from Bondoukou combine affinities with main Ghanaian “kente” styles - such as the use of blue and white thread - with other aspects closer to Baoulé and Gouro textiles from Central Côte D’Ivoire
Materials: 100% Cotton
Measures 47" x 66"
Each textile is a completely one of a kind piece. They are hand woven with care and expert technique from artisans new and old. Minor irregularities, mild discolouration, or imperfections are to be expected due to the hand made nature of each piece, and we embrace these minor differences when they appear as part of the unique beauty that makes each woven work something irreplaceable.
We find a variety of uses for the hand woven textiles in our daily lives. The same piece we might display hanging on a wall or a dowel as a work of art, we would take down to let our babies play upon. A piece might live draped over a bed or on a living room chair for decoration, or we may wrap ourselves in it to protect us from sun or keep us dry. There is no wrong answer. We hope you find ways to incorporate these beautiful, colourful pieces into your life in whichever way works best for you.
