Bogolan Inspired Crop Top With Cowries Shells

Beschreibung:
This top draws inspiration from the earthy palette & graphic motifslike the squares & cowrie shellsfound in Bogolan fabric. Bogolan is a Malian mud cloth & is celebrated for its rich cultural significance & aesthetic. Handwoven & dyed with fermented mud, it features complex patterns in earthy tones. Natural dyes create the cloth's signature colours, while the symbolic designs often narrate stories or convey cultural meaning. Bogolan is an integral part of Malian heritage, playing a vital role in ceremonies & serving as a powerful expression of identity. It has become a source of inspiration & a symbol of cultural pride across West Africa. in Côte d'Ivoire, where I'm from, we also appreciate & sometimes create our own versions of this beautiful textile.
