Francophone African Textile Gallery 

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.
