A Rather Splendid Piece of Living History
This is, quite honestly, one of those rare home additions that manages to be both utterly fetching and genuinely meaningful. You're looking at an authentic handwoven mud cloth throw, crafted using techniques that have been refined over generations in Mali. It's the sort of thing that makes people pause mid-conversation and ask where on earth you found it.
Why Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw
Authentically Handcrafted: Each piece is individually made using traditional methods passed down through families. This isn't mass produced, which means your throw carries genuine artisanal character that simply cannot be replicated.
A Story in Every Thread: The cloth begins with hand spun cotton, woven on small strip looms into narrow pieces, then meticulously sewn together. Women artists then apply the distinctive mud dye by hand using traditional spatulas, creating patterns that reflect personal taste, cultural heritage, and genuine artistic vision.
Natural Materials, Proper Craftsmanship: Made from locally sourced cotton and dyed using natural mud mixtures derived from local tree leaves. The entire process unfolds at a pace that demands patience and skill, resulting in something altogether more substantial than your average textile.
A Conversation Starter: Whether draped across a sofa, layered over a bed, or displayed as a wall hanging, this throw draws the eye and invites questions. It's the sort of decorative piece that actually means something.
Product Details
Dimensions: 160cm x 100cm
Material: Handwoven cotton with natural mud dye
Colour Note: The actual piece is slightly lighter in tone than shown in photographs, which tends to photograph rather darker than reality.
Making Process: Hand spun and woven by artisans, then decorated through a lengthy traditional process involving natural leaf soaking, mud dyeing, and hand drawn detailing.
This is the sort of purchase where you're not simply buying a throw. You're bringing home something fabulously made, with genuine cultural significance and the kind of character that grows richer with time and use.

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.
