WEDDING INVITATIONS


Olubugo

This wedding invitation was handmade in Uganda with two traditional, natural materials:  sisal and barkcloth.

Barkcloth or 'Olubugo' (oh-lew-boo-go) is unique to Southern Uganda, where the groom was born.  Olubugo was traditionally used for clothing in the Kingdom of Buganda.  One can still see people wearing Olubugo clothing to formal events in Uganda.

Behind printed transparent sheet is black-and-white photo of couple standing at the equator in Uganda.
