Cushion Cover – Red Barrel 40 x 65cm

This range of popular, high quality handicrafts and curios is created in partnership with traditional craftsmen, women and rural workgroups. These designs are a result of collaborations with individual artisans and community-based projects. This partnership empowers the craftspeople and makes a difference to their communities.

These cushions are made in Cape Town using traditional Baule fabric. The traditional Baule fabric is hand stitched, died, and woven by local Mali artisans and weavers using a tenth century set of techniques. First, raw cotton is converted into single threads or yarn. The yarn is then bleached to remove all impurities and dirt. The same yarn is dyed with natural dyes, either mineral or vegetable based, usually from indigo leaves or other natural plants. Colored threads are handwoven into narrow strips of textiles, they are then sewn together, edge to edge, as to form a full fabric.
