Description

Discover the beauty and warmth of a handmade cotton blanket crafted in Burkina Faso.
Each blanket is woven from 100% natural cotton, showcasing traditional West African artistry in every stitch.
Because each piece is individually crafted, every blanket is unique, meaning yours will be truly one of a kind.

The complex strip weaving made famous in the region was, and continues to be, crafted by men.
Male weavers use a different type of loom to women.
In a men’s loom, the weaver sits inside the loom, on a low stool, and operates the treadles with his feet.
Fabrics are made in narrow strips, and sewn together to produce a wider finished fabric.
