Mudcloth is a centuries old, hand-dyed textile art that originates from West Africa, Mali. Known locally as Bògòlanfini, authentic mudcloth takes weeks to make by applying one to two coats of color-rich mud to undyed cloth. Handmade & 100% cotton. Fabric Details The dimensions of the piece are approximately: Height - 44 inches Length - 64 inches Due to the nature of the fabric, tiny spaces within the seams, an organic neutral scent, some dust presence or a slight variation in pattern may naturally occur. Color may vary slightly due to lighting. Process On narrow looms, strips of cotton fabric are woven and stitched into large pieces of cloth. The cloth is soaked in a dye bath made from leaves of the n'gallama tree that have been mashed and boiled, or soaked. Now yellow, the cloth is sun-dried and then painted with designs using a piece of metal or wood. The paint, carefully and repeatedly applied to outline the intricate motifs, is a special mud, collected from riverbeds and fermented for up to a year in a clay jar. A chemical reaction between the mud and the dyed cloth causes the brown color to remain after the mud is washed off. Finally, the yellow n'gallama dye is removed from the unpainted parts of the cloth by applying soap or bleach, rendering the finished cloth white. Uses - Decoration (wall hanging, couch throw, bedding, drapes, etc) - Crafts (pillows, plant pot cover, furniture upholstery, coasters, tapestry, table runner, etc) - Fashion (tote bags, pants, shirts, dresses, headbands , etc) - Gift Care Dry Clean / Air Dry Wholesale services available.

Baule Cloth – Handwoven Textile from Côte d’Ivoire

Baule cloth, named after the Baule people of Côte d’Ivoire, is a masterfully handwoven textile rooted in tradition and artistry. Made from locally grown cotton, each piece is dyed with natural pigments, sun-dried, spun, and woven on a traditional loom. The work is carried out by a Master Baule Weaver—a title that takes nearly a decade to achieve—ensuring every textile is not only functional but a true work of art.
