Handwoven African Textile Vest, Striped Ikat Baoulé Cloth, (Aqua Dawn)

This cascade vest combines two celebrated West African weaving traditions in a modern, versatile layer. Panels of Baoulé cloth from Côte d’Ivoire bring striking stripes and ikat-reminiscent patterns, while Mossi indigo cloth from Burkina Faso adds depth, texture, and tonal contrast.

The draped silhouette flows effortlessly over dresses, denim, or tailored pieces, creating a statement layer that balances bold design with everyday wearability. Each vest is assembled from handwoven textiles, resulting in one-of-a-kind variations in weave, tone, and pattern placement that highlight the authenticity of the materials.
