Kolonkise Mudcloth

(1 customer review)

Original price was: £70.00.Current price is: £56.00.

A limited collection of handwoven Bogolanfini fabrics from Mali, West Africa.
This print is called “Kolonkise”. It’s namesake is the cowrie shells we see featured in the design, which translates as kolonkise in Bambara, a national language of Mali.
‘Bogolan’ (for short) is also known as mudcloth, due to the traditional weaving, dyeing and painting techniques that have been used for centuries.  The process, which involves meticulously weaving raw cotton, layers of fermented mud, clay, dyes from indigenous trees, and sewing all the pieces together, can take several seasons to complete.
