Kuba cushions and wall hangings

From Central Africa, Kuba cloth is handwoven from raffia palm leaves. The raffia is dyed in a variety of earth tones using vegetable dyes.

There are two main types of Kuba cloth: cut pile cloths and flatwoven cloths with no pile with either embroidery or appliqué.

Historically, the Kuba people have used their cloths as skirts, wrappers, sleeping mats and even currency. For textile enthusiasts, Kuba cloths make wonderful wall-hangings and soft furnishing.

 I have full wall hangings and cushions.

Various sizes please enquire for stock.
