Named for the town of Menge in north- western Ethiopia, this gorgeous and stylish table runner is made from 100% sustainable cotton. These runners are handwoven, and Fair Trade certified. The design is hand laid into the loom during the weaving process.  A beautiful mid century design in cacao brown, with a simple cotton design through the length of the runner. They are finished with hand tied, short fringes. The expert spinners hand spin the cotton extra thick so that the table runner lays well on a table.

Made on a hand loom, the MENGE is created with pride and expert craftsmanship.

Easy to wash, just put in a gentle cycle in your washing machine, and when dry, quickly iron with a warm iron, and it will be perfectly gorgeous again.
