About This Handwoven Baule Cloth
This authentic Ivory Coast Baule cloths was crafted on a horizontal treadle loom by skilled artisans in Bondoukou. The process begins with weaving long narrow strips each dyed and patterned individually then carefully stitching them together into a larger piece.
The patterns and symbols woven into Baule textiles are deeply meaningful: geometric motifs often convey social status, ancestry, or spiritual beliefs. Natural fibers like cotton and hand-processed local pigments give the cloth its distinctive texture and earthy colors.
Among the Baule people and wider Ivory Coast communities, such textiles were worn during ceremonies, rites of passage, and everyday life valued for both function and beauty. Crafted through generations, this textile represents centuries of cultural heritage.
Today, Baule cloths are cherished worldwide not only as wearable art, but also as decorative artifacts that carry history, craftsmanship, and meaning.
