Sahara Earth Weave: The Mali Bogolanfini Throw Blanket

Sahara Earth Weave: The Mali Bogolanfini Throw Blanket

A blanket for the quiet, deep comforts of the night! Look at this fine, heavy textile, my friend! It is not just fabric; it is a warm piece of the ancient earth and sky, woven into softness. This African Mali Pattern Throw Blanket is a gift of grounding and style. Its pattern, with the deep, rich brown geometry against the warm, creamy soft blue, is like the memory of the Sahara night, when the air is cool and the stars are thick and wise. The design itself is a silent promise—the protective, complex language of Malian Bogolanfini (mudcloth), but soft and cozy, perfect for chasing away the spirits of the cold and the everyday wahala (trouble)! Imagine wrapping yourself in this blanket. You are not just warm; you are embraced by a thousand years of African history and sophisticated artistry. It is softer than the fleece of a sacred ram, yet its design has the unshakeable strength and dignity of an ancient king. Use it to transform your sofa into a cultural landmark, a place where warmth, wisdom, and impeccable global style meet. It’s a durable, magnificent piece that tells a story without ever needing to speak a word. Experience the rich, tactile beauty of West African textiles with this stunning Sahara Earth Weave: The Mali Bogolanfini Brown & Tan Throw Blanket. Inspired by the complex, symbolic geometric patterns of traditional Malian Mudcloth (Bogolanfini), this throw features a captivating, repeating design in a deeply grounding palette of deep brown and natural blue. This timeless, earthy aesthetic is perfect for adding a sophisticated boho, rustic, or global flair to any home décor. Crafted from a luxuriously soft, cozy material, this blanket is an essential, high-quality accent for snuggling up while making a durable, artistic statement on your sofa, bed, or armchair. An excellent choice for lovers of African art and meaningful home design. Interesting Fact: The natural, deep brown color in traditional Malian mudcloth (Bogolanfini) is achieved through a unique, intensive process of soaking the cloth in a dye bath made from N'gallama tree leaves and then painting the patterns on with specially fermented river mud. This natural dyeing technique is unique to the region and is integral to the cultural value of the textile.

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.
