SUSTAINABLE CRAFT

This piece was made using Korhogo cloth, a fabric made by the Senufo people of Korhogo, Ivory Coast, and is one in a collection of sustainably sourced progressive pieces, handmade in Ghana by Ghanaian artisans, specially for you.

The Korhogo fabric is made of pure, organic Malian cotton and natural dyes left to ferment for months. The paintings are done using a specially fermented mud-based and natural vegetal pigment that darkens over time. Designs are then drawn on using a stencil. They are decorated with symbols of humans, and natural elements like the sun, moon, stars, and animals, all of which are rooted in Senufo culture and mythology.

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality, uniquely ethical essentials for your closet, using eco-friendly materials and pursuing new standards in craftsmanship. Due to the nature of the fabric, tiny spaces within the seams, an organic scent, or a slight variation in colour or pattern may occur.

Size Guide: Our standard cloak, as showcased on the model who typically wears a size S or UK6/8, comfortably fits individuals within the size range of S to 2XL. Opt for the 'Fits All (S-2XL)' size option if you fall within this range. We also offer sizes XS and 3XL for your convenience. Model wears a size S.

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.
