Moringa & Shea Cleansing Bar

Bella Luccè's founder traveled all the way to the village of Djenne, Mali to study the art of bogolan textile making. The creation process goes a bit like this: Malian cotton is handpainted by local women in traditional designs, using a tea made from the leaves of an indigenous tree. This prepares the cloth for further decoration & acts as a fixative for the design. The women wash the fabric and let it dry on the riverbanks before tracing the original design three times with fermented mud from the Niger River, with river washings in between each step. The iron oxides cling to the fabric as the mud is washed away. The result? A gorgeous, indigenous textile, weeks in the making. Bella Lucccè is proud to import this custom made bogolan cloth from a women's cooperative in Djenne and we hope you'll find a way to repurpose this authentic piece of African history.
