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

Deep indigo running the length of the tie, broken by ivory bands and small blocks of gold where the weft crosses. The most formal of the Baoulé pieces — it reads almost navy from a distance.

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.
