Authentic Mudcloth

Mud cloth - also called 'bogolan' - is handmade in Mali, West Africa. Cotton from the region is handwoven into strips then sewn together. The textile is then dyed and hand painted with the indigo plant.  Mudcloth is a handmade textile and each piece is a one of a kind item. Imperfections in handmade textiles are to be expected, including raw edges, intertwined plant matter, stitching imperfections, over dye, paint blots/smears, and/or stains.

Piece is 46 inches wide and 68 inches long

We recommend washing in delicate cycle (or hand wash) to remove excess dye, as dye transfer is possible.
