" Handwoven cloth is sometimes regarded as having a spiritual potential not found in manufactured fabric."
The hand making skills required to create such high quality fabric has been passed down from one generation to the next for at least 700 years. Indigo production being one of the oldest industries in existence is found all across Africa with each people developing their own distinctive process and design. The traditional practice of gathering leaves, flowers and stems from the indigofera or lonchocarpus cyanescens plants are still used and ground together to make a pulp. The pulp is left in the sun for 2-3 days to dry. This serves as the base.
Offered here is a vintage handmade beautiful indigo cloth featuring a popular tribal pattern in various shades of indigo blue and natural white. This is an oversized selection that would be perfect to use as a throw. It is was expertly woven in the country of Burkina Faso.
