| On
this page we introduce you to a few of the many textile traditions of
the French-speaking countries of West Africa, specifically Burkina Faso,
Senegal, Togo, Benin, Niger, and Mali. With few exceptions there
has been no systematic collection of textiles in these countries, and
old pieces are only sporadically available as yet.
Click on the image
below for an introduction and background reading list.

As
with all our cloths we guarantee a full refund if you are not satisfied
with any order. CLICK on the images for a bigger picture plus full
details of size and condition for each cloth, together with ordering information.
Please be patient as
the images may take a minute to download.
