Piece 7 of a 28-piece run

Verify authenticity

Genuine Malian Bogolan mudcloth, fermented-mud dyed by hand, cut into heavyweight flax linen and framed with hand-couched metallic embroidery. Because no two mud batches and no two embroidery passes are identical, this garment is a numbered, one-of-a-kind piece and will differ slightly from every photograph and every other set in its run.

Care wizard.

The care guide, step by step — four moments in the life of this set. Use the arrow keys to move between steps.

Step 1 of 4 — Wash

Cold water, alone, gentle motion.

Cold hand wash, or a 30°C gentle cycle inside a garment bag.
Wash the piece on its own for the first three washes — Bogolan mudcloth mud dye still settles.
pH-neutral liquid detergent only. Never bleach, never optical brighteners.

The tunic is cut with 12 cm of ease at the bust — it should skim, never pull across the placket.
Trousers sit at the natural waist with a wide leg; between two sizes, take the smaller for the waist and have the hem shortened.
Inseam is finished at 76–82 cm by size. Free hemming to your exact length is included with every set.
Heavyweight linen relaxes roughly half a size after the third wash; the Bogolan mudcloth bands do not shrink.
Petite under 160 cm: ask for the short-rise trouser block at checkout. Tall over 180 cm: the long block adds 6 cm.
