Herringbone Cotton Throw

Herringbone Cotton Throw

A handwoven cotton throw with a fine herringbone pattern and knotted fringes. At 130 × 200 cm, it covers the end of a bed or rests casually over the arm of a sofa.

It is made in Addis Ababa by a fair-trade certified, woman-led textile workshop, and the cotton comes exclusively from Ethiopia. The weavers work on looms with four (instead of only two) harnesses, operated by hand and foot. The extra harnesses create the herringbone pattern that gives the throw its elegance and depth.

The four colours sit effortlessly in any interior: pair off-white with dark grey, or add an accent in yellow or bronze.

Hand-spun and handwoven, each throw is one of a kind.

Material: 100% cotton, grown in Ethiopia

Dimensions: 130 × 200 cm

Colours: Off-white, Dark grey, Bronze, Yellow

Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

Our partner

A fair-trade certified collective of 250 artisans in Addis Abeba is working around the various tasks of weaving products: from sourcing the locally-grown cotton, spinning it by hand, to weaving and adding the finishing stitches to it. The woman-led social enterprise pioneers an impactful movement to revive Ethiopian Heritage crafts.

Noble raw materials

The cotton is grown in Ethiopia and locally sourced, ensuring a low carbon footprint. With over 100 spinners working from home, the work allows mothers to generate a much-needed income.

Soft threads

Depending on the woman who spun the thread, it will be a little thinner or thicker and give your product that softness and human touch, which has long disappeared in our marketplaces, even from premium or luxury brands.

Warp & Weft

All the looms are operated fully manually (also involving the feet!). While typical ethiopian weavers would work on 2-harness looms creating flat weaves, some of our partners' weavers work with 4 or 8 harness looms, meaning they craft with 8 feet peddles! There are so many innovative weaving techniques and patterns - the artisans are involved in developing and creating new collections.
