Mànden Style by Maï
Inspired by the rich textile tradition of West Africa - always striving for long-term sustainability.
Baki
Baki är samlingsnamnet för de mycket populära bomullstygerna som används till allt från bröllopskläder till skurtrasor. De går även under namnen Bakifani, African Wax Print, Ankara eller helt enkelt pagne.
Alla våra baki-tyger är inköpta på den vimlande stormarknaden i Bamako, där vi själva valt de vi gillar bäst, bland en oändlig uppsjö varianter.
Motivation
It is our love for the culture and the people of the Mànden area that drives this family business. We provide classes, undertake projects, and offer goods rooted in this diverse part of West Africa, with the aim of contributing to the recognition of its cultural riches.
