Your new year-round snuggle companion is here! This lightweight cotton, monochrome throw beams head-to-toe with texture and is sure to hold its own in any interior. Style solo as an instant living room classic or mix and match with other Jaspe pieces for a complete monochrome look.

Handcrafted using traditional ikat technique and woven on a foot pedal loom, the fabric takes nearly three weeks to dye and weave.

An ode to an age-old Guatemalan weaving technique, 'Jaspe Basura' literally means 'ikat waste' in Spanish. The style got its name from ikat offcuts and scraps being picked up off the workshop floor, spun and then woven back together to create unexpected indigo patterns. (One weaver's trash is another weaver's treasure.) 

While not in practice anymore, we couldn't help but recreate this indigenous yet modern style of weaving with our Jaspe Basura series. Reimagined in black and crudo colorway, the throw is woven using a traditional ikat weaving technique where the yarns are tied by hand and then dyed, forming a pattern once let loose. 

The fabric is then handwoven on a traditional foot loom in Alotenango by Luis and his father, while Luis' mother, Zoila, creates those 'oh so luscious' tassels. Once the textile is ready, Eulalia, seamstress extraordinaire, puts the finishing touches on the fabric and constructs the final pieces in Ciudad Vieja.

As all of our items are handcrafted using all-natural fibers and some plant-based dyes, we’ve put together a few words of advice how to best care for them so they brighten up your home for years to come.

HUIPIL CUSHIONS, BATIK & IKAT CUSHIONS, NAGA CUSHIONS, STRAPS & YOGA BAGS  

Because these items are made with vintage textiles and may include leather accenting or hardware, we recommend that they are professionally dry cleaned when cleaning is required.

JASPE & JASPE BASURA

We recommend that cushions, rugs, throws and bed blankets from these collections are dry cleaned. This will ensure that colors retain their luster and fabric its shape. 

TOTO & CHILE VERDE

Gently wash cushions, bed blankets and throws from these collections by hand, in cool water. Wrap the tassels in rubber bands before washing, use mild soap and line dry to maintain the piece's original shape.

BORNN CANDLES

Due to its smooth, non-porous surface made of glass, enamel is bacteria inhibiting and easy to clean. Clean with lime juice and baking soda using the smooth side of the cleaning sponge or a soft brush. 

TENSIRA RANGE 

We recommend hand-washing these fabrics with mild soap. For tie & dye pieces, please wash them at 30°C and striped pieces at 40°C and lay flat to dry. Dry cleaning is recommended for kapok-filled cushion inserts.

PETRIFIED WOOD 

Clean with a natural or mild cleanser (avoid harsh chemicals) and a soft cloth.

RUGS

Vacuum regularly. Rotate every few months to even out wear, especially if the rug is located in a high traffic area. In case of a liquid spill, blot the spot using a white cloth to draw up the liquid; never rub a wet stain to prevent colors from bleeding. If further spot cleaning is required, entrust your rug to a professional dry cleaning service.

ART

While in storage, do not place objects on top of the artwork. Keep handling to a minimum when during the hanging process and hold your print only from the sides.  Fine art papers can scratch easily, so be very careful to avoid scraping anything across the surface of the print.

For cleaning we recommend using a clean, white, dry, soft lint-free cloth to gently wipe off dust and/or dirt. Use a white non-colored cloth will allow you to see when dust has been collected.

It is recommended that you never display giclee prints in direct sunlight and avoid high temperatures and humidity as it can cause yellowing.
