A Piece of Mali's Artistic Heritage, Right Here on Your Sofa
Rather marvellous, isn't it? This handwoven mud cloth throw is the genuine article. Made using methods passed down through generations in Mali, each piece tells a story of extraordinary craftsmanship that frankly puts most mass-produced textiles to shame. You're not just draping fabric over your furniture; you're displaying an art form.
Why Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw?
Authentic Artistry: Every design is hand-painted using traditional mud dye techniques by skilled artisans. No two throws are quite identical, which is rather the point, really.
Genuinely Handmade: From the hand-spinning of cotton to the hand-weaving on traditional strip looms, this throw embodies labour and dedication. The strips are carefully sewn together, creating a properly substantial textile.
Time Honoured Process: The cloth is naturally treated with local tree leaves, then dressed with mud dye applied by spatula. It's then washed and refined until the patterns emerge in full glory. This isn't rushed.
Culturally Significant Designs: Traditional patterns reflect gender, social status, and personal taste within Malian communities. You're acquiring something loaded with meaning, not merely decoration.
Beautifully Made: The geometric patterns and rich earth tones are utterly fetching against virtually any interior scheme. Monochromatic, warm, subtly textured, and fabulously versatile.

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!

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.
