Created by the Mossi People of West Africa, each shawl is comprised of narrow handwoven strips combined into a single blanket and then hand-dyed using indigenous indigo. These buttery soft shawls are one-of-a-kind, having spent decades on two continents and passed down and treasured by multiple owners. Splits, mending, and indigenous repairs are a part of their unique beauty and patina. Wear them as a light wrap, toss them over a sofa, or lay them out for a picnic!
