Welcome to Unravel's new minisode series: Fashion in Focus. Each FIF will detail the brief history of a garment, accessory or textile. In this FIF Jasmine talks about her research on Afro-descendant and indigenous dress in the Mosquito (Miskito) coast of Nicaragua and discusses the history of tuno (tunu) cloth.
Tuno cloth is a bark cloth that is made by Miskito and the Mayangna indigenous groups in the Mosquito coast of Nicaragua a territory which extends from the eastern coast of Nicaragua and to southern part of Honduras.
