A Rather Splendid Piece of Wearable Art You'll Actually Want to Display
Right, so here's the thing about this handwoven mud cloth throw. It's not just a blanket you drape over your sofa while pretending to be more cultured than you actually are. It's a genuine artefact of West African craftsmanship, made using techniques that have been perfected over generations. Each one is utterly unique, which means yours will be rather difficult to find anywhere else, even if you tried frightfully hard.
Why Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw
Authentically Handcrafted: Every inch involves real human skill and patience. The cotton is hand-spun, hand-woven on small strip looms, then painstakingly decorated with natural mud dyes applied by artists. This isn't mass-produced nonsense. It's the opposite of that.
Natural Materials Throughout: Local cotton, pounded tree leaves, and earth pigments sourced right from the region. Your throw is basically nature having a rather good time with textiles.
Proper Artistic Merit: The designs and patterns tell stories. They're chosen to reflect personal taste, social significance, or simply what the artist fancied that day. No two throws are identical, which is rather marvellous when you think about it.
A Conversation Starter: When guests ask where you got it, you get to explain the entire fascinating process without sounding like you're reading an instruction manual.
Product Details
Dimensions: 160cm x 100cm, which is rather generous for draping, wrapping, or simply lying around contemplating life.
Material: Hand-spun cotton with natural mud dye finish and botanical preparations.
Craftsmanship: Each throw is individually designed and decorated, meaning yours is genuinely one of a kind.
Care: Handle gently, as you would with anything properly handmade. These pieces improve with age, developing character rather like a decent wine or aging gracefully.
This is the sort of textile that doesn't just sit there being decorative. It carries with it the skill of artisans, the traditions of West African culture, and just enough personality to make your space feel less like a showroom and more like somewhere an actual person lives. Quite the showstopper, really.

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.
