Shantung is a wild silk with a slightly irregular texture that gives it a unique character. Its natural reflections, more subtle and authentic than those of smooth silk, capture light in a changing way depending on the angle and movement. Combined with brocade — a fabric woven with metallic threads — shantung creates women's boubous of exceptional visual richness.
The embroideries in the Shantung Collection are inspired by Greek patterns (meanders), a design that has been found in West African textile craftsmanship for centuries. These linear and geometric motifs, embroidered in gold and white threads, create a striking contrast on the warm tones of the shantung. The embroidered belt of the Boubou Aicha and the plastron of the Boubou Nafyssa are remarkable examples of this craftsmanship.
