The cut
Worn high on the waist, it defines the waist and lengthens the silhouette. The A-line shape balances the hips; the two front box pleats add movement without adding bulk. The belt loops let you add a belt.
Bogolan by Mamadou Traoré
Bogolan is the emblematic cloth of the Bamana people; its name means "born of the earth." This one is hand-woven and hand-painted by Mamadou Traoré in Kolokani, Mali, whom we have worked with since 2016: a lightweight bogolan in a brownish red reminiscent of laterite, covered with off-white patterns drawn in mud. Every piece is one of a kind. To learn more, read Bogolan: the traditional cloth of Mali.
Material and care
100% cotton, hand-woven and hand-painted. Cold water wash only, by hand or on a delicate cycle. Dry in the shade, no tumble dryer.
Styling tips
With a black turtleneck and a camel leather belt for a graphic look; with a cream sweater and ankle boots in the fall; with a white top and sandals in summer. It pairs well with the black bogolan hobo bag.

Size 1 for French 36 to 42 (US 4–10), size 2 for French 44 to 48 (US 12–16). The side elastics ensure a comfortable fit.
Does it suit every body shape?
The A-line shape balances the hips and the pleats add ease: it suits most figures.
