Traditional fabric from Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso brought to you by traveler Sheila Bitibale.
"They have a large market in Bobo-Dioulasso, this fabric was found there. Although they have fabric shops everywhere it was tough to find. So often they make knock offs where the red is not as vibrant. I was excited to find the true fabric. The Mossi tribe is the largest tribe in Burkina Faso. Any culture event that the Mossi tribe performs they will have a piece of the fabric on their clothing. They have also commercialized the print with a brand name Burkindi." —Sheila Bitibale
