Origin & history: Baoulé textiles come from the Baulé (Akan) people of Côte d’Ivoire, with historical ties to broader Akan strip-weaving traditions dating to the Ashanti sphere from the 16th century. Historically worn for ceremonies and traded regionally, Baulé cloth features precise, complex patterns created from narrow woven strips stitched together.

Technique & look: strip-weaving on narrow looms (bands ~4–8 in / 10–20 cm wide) later hand-sewn into larger cloths; warp-faced layouts produce crisp geometrics and color-blocking, sometimes with supplementary patterning; typically softer drape than Korhogo, with chromatic variety from indigo to warm earth tones.

How we source: we work with a weaving community in/around Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire. We established the relationship in person and continue to order directly; cloth is delivered in person or via bus to Ghana.

All our fabrics are treated to resist dye and keep their natural tones for years.

Threaded Tribes is plastic free and committed to a full re-use of scraps.

This outfit was hand crafted in our Accra workshop using local fabrics with careful water usage and waste management.
