The many colours of mudcloth

Posted on 14 January 2014 by Charlie

I went a bit mad for mudcloth last year and have two armchairs, curtains, cushions and a lampshade all covered with it.

I love the striking effect of white motifs on a black background, which is what I have so far focussed on for SAHEL products; cushion covers, scarves and bags.

Here is some living room evidence of my mudcloth madness:

But there is so much more to bogolan than just black and white. To show the array of earthy tones that can be made using this all-natural, traditional mudcloth dyeing technique, Seydou Sawadogo, who featured in our making mudcloth video, has done a sample collection of colours. Here they are. If you are interested in ordering any custom-made bogolan products please contact us.
