Mudcloth, or bogolan, is a traditional craft of Mali's Bamana people recognized around the world for its bold, high contrast patterns.

Once a woman's craft only, modern Malian artisans--men and women--craft a contemporary form of mudcloth that we've found just as beautiful as traditional bogolanfini.

Artisans in Bamako, Mali's capital, demonstrate the artistic creativity that has thrived in Mali since the days of the great caravans, when the Saharan cities of Djenne and Timbuktu flourished with cross-cultural trade.

Our handcrafted mudcloth or Congo raffia and leather change purse is a beautiful personal accessory rich in cultural connotation. Available as a large pouch which would make a great makeup pouch.
