It is in fact a proper work of art, lovingly handcrafted using techniques that have been passed down through generations in Mali. Each one tells a story, and we rather fancy that yours will too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Our Handwoven Mud Cloth Throw\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentically Handmade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every single piece is woven by hand using traditional methods, which means no two throws are quite identical. Rather marvellous, that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAncient Craft, Modern Appeal:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mud cloth tradition, known locally as Bogolanfini, dates back centuries. Bogo means earth or mud, lan means with or by means of, and fini means cloth. The name is rather self explanatory, and also rather lovely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeticulously Crafted:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men hand spin and hand weave local cotton on small strip looms, creating narrow strips that are then sewn together. The cloth is washed and dried in the sun, then soaked in a mixture of pounded leaves. Women then carefully apply the mud dye using traditional bamboo or metal spatulas, creating unique patterns that may reflect personal taste, social significance, or simply good artistic instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUtterly Fetching Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each pattern is hand drawn and finished with careful attention to detail. The designs are then washed and outlined once more, resulting in a genuinely stunning piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeautifully Imperfect:\u003c\/strong\u003e The natural variations in colour and pattern are precisely what make these throws so gloriously authentic. Colour may appear slightly lighter than pictured, which we find rather charming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160cm x 100cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand spun and hand woven cotton with traditional mud dye\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted in Mali using time honoured techniques\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of throw that makes people pause mid conversation and ask where on earth you found it.
