Tisserands traditionnels, Weaving cooperative in Bomizambo, Côte d'Ivoire.
Tisserands traditionnels is a weaving cooperative in Bomizambo where artisans create cloths from cotton, silk, and polyester on wooden looms in open workshop spaces. The work areas sit in simple, airy structures where you can clearly see the looms and each step of the process.
The cooperative preserves weaving methods passed down for centuries, normally from father to son. This unbroken transmission of knowledge has kept the techniques unchanged and allows traditional practices to remain active today.
The cloths appear at weddings and ceremonies, where specific patterns and colors convey deep traditional meanings. These textiles form part of local identity and show social status and family or community belonging.
Visitors can watch workers directly at their looms and see how cloths develop from raw materials to finished products. It is a good place to experience the craftsmanship closely and to purchase finished cloths.
Creating a cloth for men takes longer and demands more work than making cloths for women, which is why prices differ between the two. This distinction reflects how each type is used and its different cultural role.
