In the new product line “Getzner Bogolan”, exquisite damask meets traditional West African craftsmanship. How does an idea become a finished textile? A visit to the design department of Getzner Textil – in celebration of World Design Day on April 27.

Moctar Yara from Mali built a successful business in New York about 30 years ago. In Harlem, he sells high-quality damask for African fashion, runs a wholesale business, and operates an online shop—now bringing this experience back to Africa.

Take a short break and travel with us to Mali. There, at the famous "Grand Marché" in Bamako, African creatives captured the colorfulness, brilliance and vibrancy of our fine brocade.

What do La Lutte and Getzner have in common? The national sport has a long tradition in Senegal and damask is also worn at traditional festivities. This is how the idea for a special photo series in Dakar was born. 

Join us on a journey where our brocade meets the beauty and liveliness of the West African countries....
