5 out of 5 starsI was looking for Bogolan textile since a while and I finally found mine! This piece is amazingly beautiful, the red details make it so unique! I was searching for a piece of this kind of fabric to make some clothing item, but this one is so beautiful that I'll probably keep it as tapestry!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely loved my scarf. Finest quality. I love mudcloth but it is very heavy to wear in Florida. The weight of your fabric is perfect for down here. Thank you!

Awanya at the African Art and Music Festival in Los Angeles 2014
Ethnic Couture and Home Decor, Textiles and Adornments
My name is Asia Sikkila and my life was changed forever by a trip to Africa in 1998. Drawn by the music, and energized by the dance, I experienced a sense of familiarity with that ancient land, the warm kindness of the people, the dramatic brilliant fabrics sewn into colorful clothing.
When I touched ground in the Casamance the market garden of Senegal, I realized Awanya---the strength of the farmer. I drew breath and heard the messages of Africa: grow food and live simply, celebrate family and community, learn from the elders and teach the children. The strength of the farmer became a source of inspiration for me. Thus were the seeds of Awanya planted.
On my return to the US I started to bring the African fabrics into our local dance community, sewing the seeds of my experience and inspiration into clothes that convey the beauty and wonder that had opened in me. A self-taught designer, initially I sewed simple lapas, the wrap skirts we wear when we dance from hand-dyed Indigo cloth and tie-dye designs.
Over the years the selection has grown into an ever-changing collection of sophisticated dynamic clothing for women, men and children with both traditional and modern elements.
