Mud cloth is 100% cotton hand crafted Malian fabric, traditionally dyed with fermented mud.
The men start the process by weaving cotton thread on a loom.
The dyes are made from a mixture of roots, leave, barks and wild grapes and usually painted by the women.
It is handmade from start to finish.The cloth is being exported worldwide for use in fashion, fine art and decoration. Hotels in Mali often use them for tablecloths or as decorations for walls but worn by individuals.
The making of mud cloth is time-consuming and normally takes four days to a week to complete depending on weather.
No two pieces of mud cloth are exactly the same.The patterns vary from one piece to the other. African artisans hand-dye symbols into these fabrics in order to tell stories of their villages and African proverbs.
Mud cloth has a long tradition of being used by West African warriors and hunters to camouflage themselves. Nowadays, people across the globe are wearing them to stand out and celebrate their connection to the African heritage.
