AbOUT AAAA

The Bogolan is a traditional handmade organic cotton fabric, woven in narrow strips, dyed with local herbs and painted with fermented mud from the Niger river in Mali. All kind of symbols and patterns were painted with mud on the clothes. Patterns that were believed to have the power to absorb dangerous forces released in life-threatening circumstances. That is why their ancestors also referred to the Bogolan as ‘medicine cloth’.

AAAA’s product is a creation of many hands, beyond the Bogolan painters, it involves also the people who pick the cotton, the ginners, spinners, weavers, dyers, stitchers and wood carvers. They work in harmony with nature and each other. It is a true cooperation between men and women, young and old, North and South.
