WHAT IS DAN FANI FABRIC?
The traditional Burkinabe woven loincloth, the Faso Dan Fani, is composed of several bands that are then assembled to form a large fabric. Originally from Burkina Faso, Faso’s Dan Fani, which means "woven loincloth of the homeland," is a woven fabric of cotton yarn. It is the legendary Thomas Sankara who, in a desire to promote the wealth of his country through his products, put on the front of the stage this noble fabric. A fervent defender of the emancipation of women through the craft of weaver, he allowed them to become major actors of the local economy.
