A quiet little town on the banks of the Niger River, Segou is known as the capital of mud cloth.

The plant dyed table runners are inspired and infused with botanical colors from flowers, roots, and vegetables, ensuring zero waste. Each piece is individually hand-dyed with plant pigments over a process of 5-7 days. To achieve the desired look, the textiles are sometimes vat dyed, bundle dyed with flowers, herbs and spices, or a combination of both, making each piece unique. Fringed edges are finished with a minimalist gold stitch detail.
Take care of it just like you would take care of your plants. Some colors may shift or fade over time, especially if exposed to the sun for long periods of time. Keep your piece in a cool place and in shade for their longevity.
This is a made-to-order item. Please allow 1 business week to make your table runner.
