Our design philosophy is sustainability in all aspects for people and planet. We strive to create pieces you can wear in many versions. And keep for many years.

The fabric is woven on manual looms, coloured using traditional methods and transformed into clothing by skilled workers locally. Organic cotton in Burkina Faso is not irrigated, but rather rainfed. 

In Ghana we use scrap pieces from african print to create one of a kind statement clothing. And we design jewelry from handmade recycled glass beads, keeping an artisan tradition alive.

Yes, I did receive my jacket. It is beautiful and came just in time. I was able to wear it to my dissertation defense and I got a lot of compliments!

Jeg er meget tilfreds og holder øje med din hjemmeside, kan sagtens blive fristet igen. Måske den samme model med en anden farve dukker op en dag.

Organic cotton with bogolan pattern

The Text Style went on a journey to find a natural and harmless colouring method already present in West Africa.

First the hand woven, organic cotton fabric is soaked in an infusion of leaves from the n’galama tree that is rich in natural tannins and then sun dried. This leaves the cloth a muddy yellow color.

For the rust color, the bark of the n’pekou tree is boiled and mixed with wood ash and used to dye the fabric that has been pretreated with the n’galama leaf.

The white patterns are obtained by painting with a mixture of bleach, soap and lye (a more modern method now used by most bogolan creators).

These techniques originated in Mali and have traveled across west Africa with the Bambara people. The motifs are a sort of language used by the artists (traditionally women) to communicate within the family and community.

The motif of the dots on the black fabric signify human footsteps. The motifs on the rust fabric are the dots for footsteps and arrows that signify a sense of direction or the idea of walking in the right direction.
