A Rather Splendid Piece of Authentic African Craftsmanship
There's something altogether marvellous about owning a textile that arrives with centuries of technique and genuine human craft baked into its very fibres. This handwoven mud cloth throw is precisely that sort of thing. It's the sort of purchase that makes you feel rather clever, if we're being honest, whilst also supporting artisans who've perfected their work across generations.
Why Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw
Genuinely Handmade: Each throw is woven by hand using traditional looms and local cotton, then decorated with natural mud dye applied by artisans who've inherited these techniques. You're not getting mass production here. You're getting the real thing.
Natural Materials Throughout: Local cotton, tree leaf mixtures, and earth-based mud dyes mean this cloth is about as close to nature as textiles come. Rather good for anyone who prefers their home furnishings to come without a chemistry set attached.
Utterly Unique Designs: No two throws are identical. The patterns and colours reflect the artist's personal vision, cultural heritage, and creative choices. Your throw is genuinely one of a kind.
A Story Worth Telling: Unlike furniture that exists simply to fill space, this piece carries cultural significance and human artistry. It's the sort of thing guests will actually ask about.
Beautifully Made for Longevity: The multi-step process, from hand spinning to repeated washing and detailing, creates a textile built to last rather longer than most.
Product Details
Dimensions: 160cm x 100cm
Construction: Hand spun and hand woven cotton strips, sewn together and finished with natural mud dye decoration
Colouring: Earthy, natural tones. Please note the actual colour appears slightly lighter than images, which is rather typical of handmade textiles and natural dyes.
Care: Treat gently as you would any treasured textile. These pieces have survived considerably harsher handling in their creation.
This is the sort of throw that transforms a room from looking merely acceptable to looking like someone rather thoughtful lives there. The kind of purchase you'll be pleased about for years to come.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
