Unisex Senoufo Handwoven Cotton Cocoon Jacket – Waraniéré

€97 for a unisex jacket in genuine traditional Senoufo cloth: cotton handwoven in Waraniéré, artisan cutting and sewing, and cotton lining. For less than €100, two African craft skills create a roomy cocoon jacket for everyday wear and evenings out.

Navy and gray blocks, cream stripes and small white motifs add texture to a simple outfit. The generous cut, dropped shoulders and roll-up sleeves create a contemporary silhouette for women and men. A living textile heritage, ready for your everyday wardrobe.

Two artisan skills, one €97 jacket

• The cloth: authentic traditional Senoufo cloth, 100% cotton handwoven in Waraniéré, near Korhogo in northern Côte d’Ivoire.
• The garment: artisan cutting and sewing in Africa, with a full cotton lining.
• The silhouette: generous cocoon volume and dropped shoulders; wear it open or closed. Oversized on a slender frame.
• The details: black cotton poplin lining throughout the body and sleeves, three snap fastenings, two flap pockets and a small fold-down collar.
• The price: €97 for handwoven cloth and artisan garment making in a jacket you can wear every day.

A statement piece that works with your wardrobe

You do not need a matching outfit. Navy, gray and cream work with solid-colored clothes you already own; the jacket provides the pattern and texture.

• For women: open over a shirt buttoned to the collar, with a straight maxi skirt or high-waisted wide-leg pants. Roll the sleeves to reveal the black lining.
• For men: over a plain top, with wide pleated pants or straight-leg jeans and sculptural shoes.
• Another way to wear it: close the snaps to showcase the cloth. The generous cut also allows layering, depending on your fit.

Product details

Size and measurements

The same cut and measurements as our Manjak cloth cocoon jacket. Oversized on slender frames and closer-fitting on broader builds.

These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Allow room for movement: 136 cm is not a recommended maximum body chest measurement. Compare with a jacket that fits you, measured the same way. Artisan work may result in slight variations. Read our size and silhouette guide or email kaolackrea@gmail.com.

Waraniéré: a heritage you can wear

This jacket begins on a traditional loom. Senoufo cloth is woven in narrow strips, then joined to form the fabric. Its motifs are made through the work of the threads; their texture belongs to the cloth itself. Choosing this jacket gives African artisans’ work a place in contemporary dressing and helps keep a heritage visible, shared and worn.

Care
