Over the following pages we will be introducing you to some of the best known types of African textiles as well as more rare and obscure styles. By sourcing cloths personally in Africa and searching far beyond the obvious sources we aim to offer interesting textiles at a range of price levels from a few hundred dollars to important museum quality finds. Each page gives a brief account of the origins and uses of the cloths, before showing you some examples. Most of the African textiles displayed are for sale but you are more than welcome to just look and enjoy them. Follow the links or click the pictures below to see more....
