A subgroup of the large Akan group, the Baoulé are a people living in the central regions of Côte d'Ivoire. Historically, the Baoulé are part of the Ashanti of Ghana who migrated under the order of Queen Abla Pokou after a conflict of succession. Having migrated to the center of the current Ivory Coast, the Baoulé who are an Akan subgroup A group traditionally recognized for their highly developed craftsmanship. After their migrations to the center of Côte d'Ivoire, the Baoules were inspired by the weavings of their neighbors Gouro people of the center west of present-day Côte d'Ivoire to which they added the weaving techniques learned in the Ashanti kingdom (the weaving of kita or kente) to bring out unique patterns intended for the King and Queen Mother. Patterns that were not to be replicated for any other person in the various villages governed. However today with the evolution and the democratization of the textile the Baoulé woven knowledge was transmitted from father to son until exceeding the borders of the Baoulé kingdoms. The unique side and the beauty of the Baoulé woven loincloth makes it one of the most respected loincloths in terms of its history and the rarity of this loincloth which takes 4 to 6 days to make a single loincloth. A very meticulous work that elevates each person who owns a Baoule loincloth to the rank of Queen and Kings Akan.
