lendendoek (1) - Plantaardige vezels - Dida - Ivoorkust

Dida Art focuses in the making of wraparound skirts, clothing or scarves in bark of raffia, beaten and woven, that they will wear during ceremonies and/or special occasions.
The result of their know-how is a very light textile, like a gauze, fine and fragile, coloured with natural pigments. Repeated geometric patterns with vibrant colours and pleaded motifs, like Pleats Please of Issey Miyake.

These textiles are no longer crafted and are very rare.
Impeccable condition (have a look at the pictures).
