Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw

A Rather Splendid Piece of Living Art

This is, without wishing to overstate matters, a genuinely marvellous handwoven throw that arrives in your home with rather more character than most things we accumulate. It's a mud cloth from Mali, made using methods that have endured for generations, which is the sort of thing that makes one feel fractionally better about one's interior choices.

Why Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw

Authentically Handcrafted: Each cloth is woven by hand on traditional strip looms using locally-sourced cotton, then decorated with natural mud dyes applied by skilled artisans. You're not buying mass production here, which is rather the point.

A Genuine Story Behind It: The patterns and designs carry meaning, often reflecting personal taste, cultural heritage, or individual artistic vision. Every throw is entirely unique, because machines are rather dull at that sort of thing.

Properly Made, Start to Finish: The cloth is hand-spun, hand-woven, naturally dyed, sun-dried, and meticulously decorated using traditional techniques that involve both precision and patience in abundance.

Beautiful Neutral Tones: The earthy, naturally-muted palette works rather well with practically any room, lending a quietly sophisticated air without demanding attention in an unseemly way.

Product Details

Dimensions: 160cm by 100cm, which is precisely the right size for draping across a sofa or bed without looking either stingy or absurdly excessive.

Colour Note: The actual cloth is slightly lighter than photographs suggest, which we feel obliged to mention in case you were harbouring perfectionist tendencies.

Material: 100 percent naturally-dyed cotton, created using traditional Malian techniques and entirely free from industrial shortcuts.

Given that these are made to order by artisans who really rather care about quality, we'd suggest acquiring yours before they drift off to someone else's living room.
