A Rather Splendid Mirror That Actually Started Life as Strips of Rattan
Look, we're not going to pretend this is some sort of miraculous invention. It's a mirror. A rather good one, mind you. But what makes it rather good is that somewhere in Malawi, someone spent considerably more time than you or I would ever volunteer for, weaving rattan strips into patterns so intricate they'll make you squint in a slightly confused but ultimately impressed sort of way.
Why Choose Our Oblong Malawi Mirror
Handcrafted with Gloriously Stubborn Tradition: Each mirror is made using time-honoured knotting techniques instead of glue, which means the makers actually understand structural integrity in a way that rather puts industrial manufacturing to shame.
Genuinely Unique Character: Because these are made by actual humans with their own two hands, minor variations and imperfections aren't flaws. They're rather evidence that something real happened here, rather than being stamped out by a machine that couldn't care less.
Marvellously Made to Last: Natural rattan ages beautifully, developing a personality over time that mass-produced alternatives simply cannot achieve.
Product Details
Dimensions: 83 centimetres in length, 65 centimetres in width. Quite the showstopper for your wall.
Material: Hand-woven rattan strips secured with traditional knotting methods.
Character Notes: Minor natural variations in pattern and finish are rather the point entirely. Each piece is beautifully made and utterly fetching in its own way.
This is precisely the sort of mirror that makes people pause and actually look at it, rather than simply walking past on their way to something else. Rather a compliment, that.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
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
You have 14 days to return items.
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!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
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.
