The Wouri Pirogue pattern
At the end of every year, the Sawa people’s pirogues glide down the Wouri during the Ngondo festival. Nadège drew this pattern thinking of the slender hulls and the paddles beating out the rhythm: lines that move forward together. Printed in a small run on 100% cotton wax, it comes in three colourways: Indigo and gold, Rust and sand, Palm green.
Fabric and care
100% cotton. Wash at 30 °C inside out, colours may bleed slightly the first few washes, no tumble dryer, iron inside out.
Origin
Cut and sewn in Bonapriso, fabric printed in West Africa for the house.
