Soulié is committed to preserving culturally important artistic traditions through the creation of mutually beneficial partnerships with artisans, non-profit organizations and entrepreneurs that actively strive to better the lives of their workers. One way we do this is to ensure that our suppliers take on no debt from our collaboration by paying for all orders in full upon shipping. We strive to create non-exclusive, long term partnerships with our suppliers, allowing them to benefit from increased revenue streams and expanded access to global markets.
Each piece we offer is a unique work of art, hand crafted by skilled artisans who who set their own wages. Our artisan partners have been hand picked after years of research and travel. To learn more, search below by type of artisan partner or by craft technique or tradition, and see how we give back through our Artisan Scholarship Program.

THE ARTISAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
In 2013, we proudly launched our Artisan Scholarship Program, which offers scholarships for study with two organizations that are changing lives by training new artisans. This program allows artisans to create sustainable livelihoods by giving them the skills they need to develop their craft or strengthen their business skills, allowing them and their products to compete in the local and world markets.

Details
Swahili Kikoi is a traditional cotton cloth worn for centuries on the East African coast. Our blankets are handwoven in the same tradition and filled with a love and intention that you will feel each time you wrap it over your shoulders. Lightweight, super soft and machine washable, these blankets are so cuddly we call them our "napping blankets" -- as perfectly beautiful for wrapping up for a nap as they are for throwing over a bed or couch.
Unique features:
100% locally sourced, Tanzanian cotton
Handwoven by Master Artisans
Hand dyed in small batches
Versatile size and weight
Machine Washable (softens with each wash)
Beautifully subtle color variations makes each piece unique
Our cotton kikoi blankets are handwoven for us by the weavers working with our partner non-profit based in Zanzibar.
