Oasis Blue & Clay: The Mali Geometric Bogolanfini Throw Blanket
This African Mali Pattern Throw Blanket is a vision of sophisticated power! The deep, calming blue is the color of the vast, wise ocean spirits, and the warm, earthy clay yellow is the color of the ancient Sahel, promising prosperity and grounding. The geometric pattern is a powerful, repeating script, drawn from the authentic Malian Bogolanfini (mudcloth) tradition. It is a soft, warm amulet woven into your comfort, designed to chase away the chill and the dullness of uninspired décor!
When you wrap yourself in this blanket, you are embracing thousands of years of West African artistry. It is softer than the fleece of the sacred ram, yet its design is as striking and clear as the shadows of the great pyramids. This blanket will instantly transform your space, turning a simple sofa into a throne of global elegance and cultural richness. A durable, magnificent textile that reminds you that true beauty is found in things with deep stories.
Immerse yourself in the tranquility and heritage of the Sahel with this magnificent Oasis Blue & Clay: The Mali Geometric Bogolanfini Throw Blanket. Inspired by the celebrated Mudcloth (Bogolanfini) textiles of Mali, this throw features a captivating, repeating geometric design in a sophisticated palette of deep denim blue and warm clay/ochre yellow. This high-contrast, authentic pattern is perfect for adding a refreshing coastal, global, or boho-chic flair to any interior. Crafted from a luxuriously soft, high-quality material, this blanket is an essential, beautiful accent for cozy snuggling while making a durable, artistic statement on your sofa, bed, or armchair. An excellent choice for lovers of African textiles and meaningful, unique home design.
Interesting Fact: The Malian city of Gao, historically a major trading center, was situated along the Niger River and was a hub for the gold and salt trade. The contrast of the river's blue with the desert's ochre clay, as seen in this blanket, reflects the vibrant geographical and cultural mix of the ancient Mali and Songhai Empires.

A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received the cotton throw blanket. It was made with such high quality. I am just about to order another throw. The colors are so vibrate and the weaving is so neat. Affordable as well. I really love my throw.

A quality printed throw has its advantages. This is a much finer weave throw than its loopier cousins, and though lighter, it is worth the investment for custom room accessorizing. The back is much prettier than the typical brown, and the fringe on the long sides very vivid, the selvage nicely done. Before photographing, I washed the throw in cold water, delicate, with a thicker woven throw the same size. On tumble dry low, this throw was dry in half the time as the other. This is a very practical quality if you use throws for furniture covers or to wrap up in frequently. The sleekness of the fabric makes it a great layer for accenting or protecting without the feeling of sitting on too much stuff. Perfect for napping or when you feel a light chill coming on. The color printing is beautiful and on this fabric, matched the design and color of my Photoshop image. This is an advantage for blending room fabrics and colors. The fringe on the short sides prints the colors from the design image and therefore varies from the side fringe. I streaked a white fractal line through the plaid pattern to give the illusion of weaving. This printed as crisp as an illusory thread, and put some white in the short side fringe, showing another advantage of print vs loomed- for artistic purposes, line lines, detail, and color integrity can be planned and preserved. My loomed throws have color limitations and more of a needlepoint texture. Print throws reproduce an exact image. The throw felt a little stiff straight out of the package, but this went away in the first delicate wash. Of course I searched the wash water for ink or bleeding and there was none.
