▪︎ABOUT
The Baule are an Akan people and one of the largest tribe in Ivory Coast, Western Africa, who historically migrated from Ghana. They are traditionally farmers who live in the centre of Ivory Coast.
The wrapper consists of several handwoven narrow strips, and then sewn together to form one single piece before the tie dye process.
It is normal for bands of coloured floats to be incorporated. These were added during the weaving process.
