Mud Cloth Textile | Black

Our Mud Cloth textile is made from hand dyed fabric that originated from the people of Mali.  Bogolan, better known as Mud Cloth is a handmade Malian cotton fabric traditionally dyed with fermented mud.  The process of making the fabric is both time consuming and labor intensive. It involves starting with a white hand-spun cotton, and then applying the designs with mud, rust and a variety of natural dyes.  The mud is usually collected from ponds and river beds and left to ferment for over a year in a clay jar.  Our authentic Mud Cloth fabric is more than a simple textile; it is an art-form used to tell the story of a person, explain the creation of the world, or simply express the artistic vision of the artisan. Our Mud Cloth textiles are one of a kind and will vary in size, pattern and color.  No two are the same.   PRODUCT INFORMATION Measures approximately 70" L x 42" W
