The mudcloth designs take their look from bogolan, the mud-dyed cotton cloth of Mali, with bold marks set in columns and bands. Copper Mudcloth has cream, rust and copper hourglass triangles, half moons and chevrons on deep black. Rustic Mudcloth puts cream crosses, triangles, arrows and chevrons on ochre, rust, cocoa and black grounds with a woven cloth texture. Ink Mudcloth is black on cream, Modern Mudcloth pairs mustard with cream and navy with gold or cream, and the Terracotta designs mix terracotta, ochre, olive, blush and charcoal on a natural ground.

Celestial Moon Set sits here too: gold crescent moons, sunburst diamonds and lotus flowers on deep navy or emerald green. You can buy a single print, a set, or the Mudcloth Collection, which brings the Copper, Rustic, Terracotta, Ink and Modern sets together in one download. The listings suggest them for boho fabric and decor: cushions, throws, upholstery, wallpaper, tote bags, clothing, gift wrap and journals.

Singles and sets are 3600 x 3600 px PNG files at 300 DPI. The Mudcloth Collection has JPG files at the same size, delivered in ZIP folders. Each listing includes a small business commercial licence.

Questions about Mudcloth & Boho patterns

What is mudcloth, and are these patterns real mud cloth?

Mudcloth, or bogolan, is a traditional cotton cloth from Mali, dyed with fermented mud. These are digital seamless patterns inspired by its look, with crosses, chevrons, dots, diamonds and half moons arranged in columns and bands. They're files for printing on your own fabric, paper or products, not textiles, and no physical item is shipped.

Which mudcloth colourways mix well?

Start with a set, since each one shares a palette. Copper Mudcloth is cream, rust and copper on black; Rustic Mudcloth puts cream marks on ochre, rust, cocoa and black; Ink Mudcloth is black on cream; Modern Mudcloth uses mustard, navy, gold and cream; and Terracotta Mudcloth Set mixes terracotta, ochre, olive, blush and charcoal. The Mudcloth Collection includes all of them if you want to combine sets.

Will the mudcloth patterns work on wallpaper and upholstery?

Wallpaper, feature walls, cushions, throws and upholstery are all among the uses the listings suggest. Each tile is 3600 x 3600 px at 300 DPI (12 x 12 in) and repeats with no visible joins, so it can cover a whole wall or sofa. The licence lets you resize the patterns for your products. Order a test sample on your chosen material first, as colours can vary.
