All Boon & Up fabric is handwoven to a width of 110cm, and is 100% combed cotton, hand-grown by smallholder African farmers. Boon & Up fabric is tough, it passes 45,000 rubs on the Martindale test, however due to the way it is woven on traditional looms we highly recommend that our fabric is knit backed for any upholstery projects. This is a relatively inexpensive process, please get in touch with us for recommendations of companies that perform this task in your region.
Boon & Up fabric has also passed the flammability ‘cigarette test’ (BS5852:Part 1:1979:Source 0).

All our fabrics tell a story.
This pattern is inspired by the Harmattan (Harma-TAN) wind which blows south every November to March from the Sahara to our hometown in northern Ghana. It comes laden with dust, and for those months a haze settles over the district of Lawra.
