		<description><![CDATA[I love tie-and-dye, and used to carry books around in tie-and-dye bags that my mum made for me. It was some time before I became aware (to my discomfort) that people in the west associated it with hippies. Here&#8217;s a BBC slideshow about makers of tie-and-dye fabrics in&#160;Mali.
