{"product_id":"mud-cloth-handwoven-throw-15","title":"Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eRather splendid, utterly handwoven, and admittedly a bit of an undertaking to make. Each throw represents the sort of painstaking craftsmanship that makes one rather grateful one isn't doing it oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you're holding is a proper piece of West African textile heritage. Bogolan, or Bogolanfini in Malian tradition, translates rather neatly to mud cloth in English. The term itself comes from the Bamana language, where bogo means earth or mud, lan means by means of, and fini means cloth. Rather elegant, that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentically Crafted:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each cloth is hand spun and hand woven on traditional strip looms using local cotton. The strips are then carefully sewn together to create one gloriously unified piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime Honoured Technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e The process is quite marvellous in its complexity. The woven cloth is washed, dried in the sun, then soaked in a mixture of pounded local tree leaves. Once properly prepared, artists apply mud dye by hand using traditional bamboo or metal spatulas, creating bespoke designs that reflect personal taste, social standing, or cultural significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuinely One of a Kind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because actual human beings make these with considerable skill and patience, no two throws are precisely identical. The patterns, colours, and decorative details vary wonderfully from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeautifully Crafted Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e After the mud dye is applied, each cloth is washed once more to remove excess dye, then designs are outlined again for definition. You're buying something that's been touched by multiple pairs of hands, all rather expertly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160cm by 100cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The actual cloth appears slightly lighter than in photographs, which is something worth knowing before it arrives at your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand spun and hand woven cotton with traditional mud dye application\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of piece that transforms a room with genuine character and rather fabulous storytelling potential.
