Hand-woven African and bohemian chic decoration.
Welcome to the world of Mestissés. An invitation to travel, at the crossroads between Africa and the West.
Kanvô, the stuff of kings, has been woven for centuries by craftsmen who originally worked only for the court of the kingdom of Abomey South-East of the current Republic of Benin between the 17th century and the late 19th century.
Each pattern or symbol, like the wax loincloth (inspired by Indonesian batik,) delivers a message, an intention. We are inspired by this story to revisit bed and table linen. More broadly, we also offer a selection of original decorative accessories from hand-woven crafts from all over West Africa.
