Bogolan accent

Central African Heritage Collection

Raffia proportion and carved-wood hardware across a relaxed tailoring block.

The story

Raffia proportion and carved-wood hardware across a relaxed tailoring block.

Every piece in Central African Heritage Collection carries a Bogolan accent — malian mud-cloth geometry, hand-dyed and set as trim, facing or inlay. The rest of the build is drawn from the wider world: raffia weave, carved iroko wood, heritage linen.

Cut in limited runs, finished by hand, and numbered inside the placket. One world. Many cultures. One vibe.

Malian mud-cloth geometry, hand-dyed and set as trim, facing or inlay.

Client notes

  • ★★★★

    The cloth is heavier than expected in the best way — it hangs like tailoring.

    N. Abara

  • ★★★★★

    Wore it to a wedding in Accra and to a board meeting in Paris. Both read correctly.

    S. Kouassi

  • ★★★★

    The accent detailing is hand-finished. You can feel where the loom stopped.
