It has been some years since we stocked Mungo and we are excited to have their beautiful products back in store. Stunning designs woven on old restored looms these pieces excite our textile designing heart.

‘New to Mungo, Designer Lenore Schroeder delved into their vast archives of historic patterns and designs; a treasure chest for ideas and inspiration. She studied the checks of the classic Harris Tweed that was originally woven on the very Hattersley looms used at Mungo today. She was equally fascinated by the three-dimensional effect of the waffle weave. The neat, pocket-like structure of this famous weave and the cross-sections of colour synonymous with the plaid check became the building blocks for the Vrou-Vrou. By experimenting with intersections of colour and increasing the scale of the well-known plaid check, Lenore turns a classic design into something intriguing, graphic and contemporary.’

The Vrou-Vrou blanket is woven from 100% GOTS certified cotton and is perfect as a summer blanket or an extra layer in the cooler months. The waffle weave gives the blanket texture and works as an insulator in both warm and cold temperatures. We have chosen to carry the king size 240 x 240cm version as it can be used on a wide range of mattress sizes. We may do special orders of other sizes in the future.
