Vintage Korhogo Cloth L | One Size | Botanical Boys

Key Identifying Characteristics ​Origin: Handcrafted by the Senufo people of northern Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). ​Construction: Like the Mossi cloth, it is made of narrow, hand-woven cotton strips that are hand-stitched together to create a large canvas. ​Artistic Technique:These textiles are hand-painted using natural earth pigments and fermented mud dyes. The muted purple/blue background is often achieved through natural indigo or vegetable-based washes. ​Symbolism: Korhogo cloths are known as "painted stories." They feature stylized figurative motifs—in this case, human figures (one appearing in a traditional robe and another in a uniform-style garment)—which are used to represent community history, folklore, or spiritual protection. Size:  ∼120cm x 240cm Avoid Machine Washing: Never use a washing machine, as the agitation can cause the delicate, handwoven strips to unravel or lose their structure. Hand Wash Gently: If hand washing, use cold water and a mild liquid detergent or soap. Do Not Soak for Long:Limit soaking to 10–30 minutes to prevent color bleeding and weakening of the threads. Spot Clean Spills Immediately: For localized stains, use a soft toothbrush or cloth dipped in mild soapy water and dab gently. Do Not Wring: Never twist or wring the fabric. Instead, gently press out excess water. Cotton 90%
