Behanzin is a jacquard fabric that draws inspiration from Kuba velvets of Congo, where looped raffia threads create distinctive surface texture. The design echoes the tactile quality found in Italian velvet traditions, translating tribal textile heritage into a contemporary woven cloth. The interplay of dimensional loops across the surface brings depth and visual interest whilst maintaining the refined sensibility of a classically structured jacquard. Its distinctive character reflects both cultural craftsmanship and technical weaving precision.
