Gouan Baulé Indigo Throw

£110.00

Pareo or pagne Baulé vintage fabric, from the Ivory Coast.

Handmade on traditional looms based on fine cotton. These crafts follow techniques that date back to the 10th century using traditional hanging looms. First, the warp threads are dyed with natural dyes, mainly indigo, then the craftsman places them spread out, configuring the desired Ikat design. Once on the loom, the weave is woven in a single color, obtaining a long band of fabric about 10 cm wide.

The final fabric is made up of 9 to 11 narrow bands sewn together. A true work of ingenuity. Each piece is unique and may undergo minor variations since it is an artisanal piece.

Beautiful addition to your home as a throw, across your sofa or end of the bed and in the garden in the Summer.
