The brilliant colors and ultra-soft texture of the Ndebele throw blanket will make it an instant favorite in your home. It's the perfect size to lounge on the couch or to wrap yourself by the campfire with friends.
Sustainably and ethically designed and woven in South Africa, this hypoallergenic blanket will be your go to couch throw for years to come.
Inspired by the unique tradition and style of Ndebele house painting, this vibrant and beautifully patterned throw is bursting with Ndebele culture. The patterns and expressive symbols created on the walls of the houses serve as a form of communication between the different groups of the Ndebele people originating from the Northeastern parts of South Africa. Culturally, each Ndebele woman has a marriage blanket called a Nguba. She wears this blanket throughout her entire life. The blanket is embellished with different types of beads to signify the different events in her life, such as her son attaining manhood.
Your Blanket is fully machine washable. We recommend machine washing your blanket on a cool, gentle cycle and line-drying to preserve the fibers and color. Check out our complete care guide here
