Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw

A Rather Splendid Piece of Malian Craftsmanship

Right then, imagine wrapping yourself in something that's been crafted by hand over weeks, decorated with patterns steeped in centuries of African tradition, and entirely one of a kind. This handwoven mud cloth throw is precisely that sort of thing. It's the sort of textile that makes you feel rather clever for owning it, even though all you've done is have impeccable taste.

Why Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw

Authentic Craftsmanship: Each throw is created using traditional methods passed down through generations. Local artisans hand spin and hand weave cotton using small strip looms, then meticulously stitch the strips together to form one gloriously cohesive cloth.

Naturally Dyed and Decorated: The cloth is soaked in a mixture of pounded leaves from local trees, then adorned with hand applied mud dye using traditional bamboo and metal spatulas. The patterns you see are genuinely meaningful, often reflecting gender, social status, or the artist's personal taste.

Utterly Fetching Design: The geometric patterns and rich earthy tones make this throw a fabulous addition to any room. It's the sort of piece that actually improves your sofa, if we're being honest.

Beautifully Made to Last: This isn't some mass produced bedspread. It's a proper handcrafted textile that gains character with time.
