Mudcloth

Geometry rooted in tradition.

Mali mudcloth — bogolanfini — is hand-painted with fermented earth, producing the bold black-and-cream marks that have carried meaning for centuries. Each Tabby piece made in mudcloth is a quiet archive: of a dyer's hand, a pattern's history, a story that predates and outlasts fashion.

Palette

Black · Ivory · Warm cream

No two mudcloth fabrics are identical. Expect variation in pattern weight and mark-making — this is the nature of the cloth.

Neutral Tones

Softness with intention.

For those who carry their personality quietly. This collection draws from undyed natural linens, sun-bleached cottons, and pale woven textiles that sit in the warmest register of neutral — not cold grey, not stark white, but the colour of sand at midday and linen left in the light.

Palette

Sand · Ivory · Linen · Pale bone

Pairs beautifully with everything. Designed to be lived in.

Bold Pattern

Wear the celebration.

African textile tradition has never been shy. This collection leans into that legacy — vivid geometric weaves, high-contrast mudcloth, rich combinations of cobalt, saffron, and deep red that refuse to disappear into a room. These are pieces that announce your arrival before you speak.

Palette

Cobalt · Saffron · Deep red · Black

Hand-woven color may vary slightly between production runs. Each is its own event.

Everyday Carry

Beautiful things should be used.

The best bag is the one you reach for without thinking. This collection is shaped around daily life — compact totes, structured wristlets, and belt bags in hardworking mudcloth that gets better with time. Functional without apology. Lovely without effort.

Palette

Warm tan · Cream · Charcoal

Structured enough to hold its shape. Small enough to go everywhere.

Statement Pieces

The bag that becomes the look.

Some pieces are not accessories — they are the point. Oversized silhouettes, sculptural shapes, and the deepest textiles in the Tabby archive. This collection is for the wearer who knows that a great bag is not something you coordinate with an outfit. It is the outfit.

Palette

Deep indigo · Gold · Midnight black

Limited quantities per textile run. When they are gone, they are gone.

One-of-a-Kind Pieces

Once it is gone, it is gone.

Made from rare textile combinations — patchworked mudcloth, archival Aso-Oke strips, or single-yard remnants too beautiful to leave aside. These pieces cannot be reordered or remade. Each one is finished, numbered, and documented. If you feel called to something in this collection, trust that feeling.

Mixed — each piece unique

Each piece listed individually with its textile source. No two are the same.
