The weave
Look for the seams where the strips meet. A printed tie doesn’t have them.

Ordered directly from Côte d'Ivoire on my next buy. Yours won't be identical to the photo — every strip comes off a hand loom, so the pattern shifts from piece to piece. That's the point of handwoven.

About Pagne Baoulé
The Baoulé weave on narrow hand looms, producing strips about four inches wide, which are then sewn edge to edge into a single cloth. The seams aren't hidden — they're the signature. Look closely and you can count the strips.
