Soft Earthy Mud Cloth Throws – Handwoven in Mali, West Africa
Wrap yourself in the warm embrace of tradition and artistry with our handwoven mud cloth throws from Mali, West Africa. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. The process begins with hand-weaving strips of super soft supple cotton, which are then sewn together and dyed using natural pigments derived from the earth—most notably fermented mud, a practice unique to Malian culture.

RARE COLOR PALETTE! These throws feature soft, earthy tones like terracotta clay, sand, blush pinks, and olive greens. The calming color palette brings a grounded, organic energy to any space.

Each is adorned with soft geometric patterns and symbols that tell a story. These designs are more than decoration—they carry deep cultural and historical significance, often representing proverbs, ancestral knowledge, and elements of everyday life in West African communities. No two pieces are exactly alike, making every throw a one-of-a-kind expression of heritage and artistry.

Whether draped over a sofa, layered at the foot of a bed, made into pillow cases or used as a wrap, these mud cloth throws add a soulful, tactile richness to any environment—perfect for those who appreciate meaningful design and handcrafted beauty. Slight traces of wear are typical, partially unstitched bands, or faded dye areas may be present in these hand made beauties. They are perfectly imperfect. A customer and interior design favorite in our studio shop, you’ll love these!
