Hand-painted in The Gambia, West Africa

These hand-painted batiks are very special. They have been created by Nene Jallow - one of the most talented batik artists in The Gambia.

Nene paints each piece with up to five layers of wax, one for each subtle variation in colour, before dyeing and over-dyeing in a progression of dye vats. All fabrics are 100% cotton in a subtle Damask weave.

Fabrics are 120 cm / 48 in wide, approximately.
