FABRICS
These are swatches of some of the fabrics we currently
use. Almost all of them are dyed by hand by Gambian
craftspeople, usually in a family compound in Bakau or
Serrakunda. If you would like to order any of these
fabrics, please contact us. We can also get fabrics dyed
to order in the colour/pattern of your choice. |  | ||
