Glass bottle, Azin Tchro wax print – Peanuts

In Benin, in Goun, it is called “Azin tchro”: peanut shells.

Around the clear glass bottle, a band of stylized peanut shells unfolds in a woven pattern, in shades of brown, rust, and mauve on a white background. This piece is our tribute to the iconic “Arachides” fabric, a reinterpretation we have named “Azin Tchro.” In Goun (Benin), “Azin tchro” means “peanut shells.”

🥜 One motif, a thousand names

Stylized peanut shells, lined up and interwoven like in a woven basket: this pagne belongs to the large family of wax fabrics inspired by the table and harvests. In the world of wax, it is the market women and those who wear the fabrics who give their names to the motifs.

• Arachides (French-speaking West Africa): the name under which this pagne is known.
• Azin tchro (Benin, Goun): peanut shells.

✨ What the motif tells

Peanuts are a staple crop in West Africa, shared at the table and in the markets. This motif belongs to the “à table!” pagne family, which celebrates what we grow and what we share.

Our reinterpretation

On this glass bottle, the motif leaves the fabric to become a band that wraps around the piece: the stylized shells echo each other in brown, rust, and mauve on a white background. The bottle is decorated to order in our Alfortville workshop: motif prepared, applied, and enameled by hand before firing.

Imagine the end of the day, a light linen tablecloth, and soft light on the table: the bottle brings its brown, rust, and mauve band to the center of conversations. As a gift, give it to someone who loves to gather and share, echoing the staple peanut and shared meals.
