Just arrived from Mali: seriously LARGE mud cloths
You probably know that the ongoing crisis in Mali means mud cloth is increasingly hard to get.
We're lucky, though. Our great pal Eric Boateng in Accra is still able to source mud cloths for us.
Our latest shipment is now online - including a few very RARE and very LARGE cloths.
Well done, Eric!
