Graphically distinctive and richly evocative of central Africa, our Kuba cloth is handwoven in the Congo using the strands from raffia palm leaves. The raffia strands are dyed in a variety of earth tones using vegetable dyes.
Kuba cloth is woven from the strands of raffia palm leaves. The process of transforming the leaves into cloth is a time consuming one: a single placemat, for example, can take up to several days!
People generally use Kuba a decorative floor mat or table cover.
