The story behind the name Baoule and where the fabric is coming from: Abla Poku, queen of the Baoulé, fled Ashanti rule in Ghana, leading her people to the Ivory Coast. They came upon the uncrossable Comoé river, where they began throwing in their most valuable possessions to appease the river’s spirit. Once the Queen realized her people’s efforts were not enough, she offered her most prized possession: her son. With this offering, hippopotamuses rose from the river and allowed them to cross. After losing her son, the queen was so overcome with grief that all she could say was “baouli,” which means son is dead. From then on the queen and her people were known as the Baoulé.
