Fabric origin & history: Korhogo cloth is made by the Senufo people of Korhogo (Côte d’Ivoire). Emerging in its contemporary form in the late 1960s–1970s, it’s hand-painted on hand-woven cotton with fermented mud and vegetal pigments. Common motifs (sun, moon, animals, ancestral/hunter figures) reference Senufo cosmology and are used decoratively and ritually, including as protective hangings.
Technique & look: hand-spun cotton strips are joined; designs are brushed or stenciled with mud-based pigment that darkens over time, producing earthy creams, browns, and blacks with bold, figurative symbols.
How we source: we procure Korhogo cloth directly from the eponym district of Korhogo, Côte d’Ivoire, via a local facilitator; shipments come to Ghana by bus. We prioritize indigenous, authentic sources to support local economies and preserve cultural origin.
All our fabrics are treated to resist dye and keep their natural tones for years.
