About Baule Cloths
The Handwoven Baule cloths, also known as Baule textiles or traditional Ivory Coast artisan cloths, are meticulously crafted on horizontal treadle looms by Baule weavers in Côte d’Ivoire. These narrow-strip weavings are sewn together to create larger fabric panels. Each cloth often features distinctive symbolic motifs geometric shapes, stylized animals, and ancestral symbols each carrying deep cultural meaning in Baule society. Weaving materials typically include locally sourced cotton, sometimes blended with silk or raffia for texture and sheen.
Historically, Baule cloths have played a vital role in social and ceremonial life adorned during rituals, festivals, and rites of passage. Designs can signify identity, status, and spiritual beliefs. Over time, these textiles have gained recognition among global collectors and artisans as art pieces suitable for decorative use in modern interiors, such as wall hangings or throws.
Owning this Woman‑size cloth means preserving a piece of Ivory Coast cultural legacy and celebrating the remarkable craftsmanship of Baule weavers.
