Shop accessories by type
Why our accessories are different
Or & Zon accessories are sourced direct from artisan workshops in Morocco and Mali. Every throw pillow is handwoven on traditional looms (2 days of work per blanket; same artisans whose families have woven for generations). Every mudcloth piece is dyed using fermented earth from the Niger riverbed — a technique unchanged for centuries.
That's why our accessories carry imperfections — slight asymmetries, looser knits, tonal variation. They're signatures of the maker, not flaws.
How to style throw pillows and blankets
Layer in odd numbers: 3 throw pillows on a queen bed, 5 on a king. Mix one statement pillow (mudcloth or Sabra cactus silk) with two textural neutrals (couscous wool or Zanafi). For sofas, drape one pom-pom blanket asymmetrically over the back-left or back-right corner.
How to care for handwoven accessories
Most pieces are dry-clean only — the natural dyes (fermented mud, indigo, hand-crushed plant pigments) can bleed if machine-washed. For blankets and cotton mudcloth, gentle hand-wash with cold water is fine; air-dry flat. Never wring.
Frequently asked questions about home accessories
Are these accessories handmade?
Yes. Every Or & Zon throw pillow, throw blanket, and mudcloth piece is handwoven, hand-dyed, and hand-finished by artisans in Morocco or Mali. Each piece takes 1–3 days of work.
What size are your throw pillows?
All our throw pillows are 18" × 18" — the standard square size that pairs with most sofa cushions and bed pillows. Pillow inserts are sold separately so you can choose your fill (down, alternative, or polyfill).
How do I clean a Moroccan throw pillow?
Most are dry-clean only because the natural plant dyes can bleed. For light spot-cleaning, dab with cold water and mild soap on a white cloth — never rub.
What's the difference between mudcloth and cactus silk?
Mudcloth (bògòlanfini) is hand-stenciled cotton dyed with fermented Niger River mud. Cactus silk (Sabra) is hand-extracted cactus fiber, dyed with plant pigments, then handwoven. Both are 100% natural; mudcloth has bold geometric patterns, cactus silk has a silky luster.
