Handcrafted & Authentic
Each Mudcloth Throw is meticulously handmade by skilled artisans from Mali, West Africa. These throws are crafted using traditional mudcloth (also known as bogolan), which involves weaving strips of cotton together, then hand-painting the fabric with natural dyes, including river mud. This unique process gives the fabric its signature textured look, with each throw showcasing distinct patterns and symbols that reflect African heritage.

They can also be draped over your armchair or used as a decorative piece on the foot of your bed. Whether you’re styling a modern living room, creating a cozy bedroom retreat, or enhancing your boho chic décor, these throws add instant personality to any room.
Cultural Significance
Mudcloth, known as Bogolan in Mali, carries deep cultural significance. Traditionally, it was used for ceremonial clothing and to mark special occasions. Each design and pattern on the throw holds meaning, often representing the spiritual beliefs, values, and stories of the communities from which it originates. By adding a Mudcloth Throw to your space, you not only enhance your décor but also embrace a rich cultural heritage.
Unique & One-of-a-Kind
Because each Mudcloth Throw is handmade and hand-painted, no two throws are exactly alike. The slight variations in color, design, and pattern add to their charm and uniqueness. These small imperfections are what make each throw a special work of art, ensuring that you receive an authentic piece that tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship.
Perfect for Layering & Styling
The earthy tones of Mudcloth Throws make them ideal for layering with other textiles. Their neutral colors, such as beige, cream, brown, and natural earthy hues, work beautifully with a range of bohemian, rustic, and minimalist décor. Whether you choose to fold it at the end of your bed or drape it over a sofa, it’s an effortless way to add depth, warmth, and a touch of handcrafted elegance.
Care Instructions
To keep your Mudcloth Throw looking its best, hand wash it in cold water and air dry. Since each throw is handmade and dyed with natural pigments, it is important to handle it with care to preserve its vibrancy. Gentle care will ensure that your throw continues to be a beautiful and durable addition to your home for years to come.
