Artisanal creation
The process of creation and crafting is an authentic one that requires great skill and patience. First, the threads are dyed with natural dyes in a completely ecological and manual process. Then, the threads are prepared, and our weaver places them according to the intended design, requiring a significant space and manual weaving skills. From there, the work begins, involving many hours and concentration, shaping meters of fabric with an approximate width of 40 cm. Finally, the fabric is sewn together by our tailors, joining the different pieces to create the final result: a genuine work of art. This is a completely artisanal product, so each item is unique and perfectly imperfect. Raw cotton from Benin Organic cotton from local production in Benin. It comes from naturally irrigated crops, a process that respects water and the environment. Unbleached and handspun.
