Description
Why shouldn’t kitchen linen be a statement piece? The Boma tea towel is a generously-sized tea towel that is as good looking as it is functional. Robust, hard wearing and absorbent, these tea towels are woven from 100% cotton grown in Southern Africa.
Drawing from the rich colour combinations that ripple through the South African landscape, Mungo's Boma tea towels are woven in a palette of soft and striking hues with an intricate diamond design.
The Boma tea towel measures 45cm x 90cm, is finished with a hemmed edge and features a hook for ease of hanging.
Designed, woven and made in South Africa.
The Boma tea towel takes its name from the traditional African ‘boma’ – an enclosure or gathering place to enjoy an outdoor, fireside meal and soak up the open-air atmosphere of a warm and welcoming South African sun or starlit sky.

In 1998, Master Weaver Stuart Holding acquired two restored antique looms. He used these looms to weave limited runs of beautiful homeware textiles from what he called his ‘working weaving museum’, an old barn in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, where passersby could watch him work and sold the textiles in his wife’s shop.
Soon demand outstripped supply and Mungo expanded production to a mill housed in an old dairy building a few kilometres away. Their one-man team has increased to a family of over 100, and although Mungo is growing, their foundational values remain the same – to produce beautifully designed homeware textiles, woven with care for the community and the environment.
In 2017 the Mungo team fulfilled a long-held dream; to build a new mill on the grounds of Old Nick Village, near Stuart’s original barn. The Mungo Mill is a testament to their philosophy of transparency in the production process, with the entire mill open to the public. And those two old looms? they are still going strong!
In 2020 Mungo became Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. They are now South Africa’s first GOTS-certified textile weaving mill. Mungo defies the status quo and endeavours to help shape and uphold the standards of sustainable production in a non-industrial environment. They challenge the idea that value is a product of price and don’t compromise on production methods or the cost of raw materials when it comes to producing quality textiles that are constructed to stand the test of time.
