Birifini Throw
The Birifini Throw is inspired by traditional Malian mudcloth (bogolanfini), a handcrafted fabric made from woven cotton strips and dyed with fermented mud. "Birifini" means "blanket" in Bambara, Mali's native language. We’ve captured the simplicity and beauty of this ancient design in a modern, cozy throw.
Shipping, Returns & FAQs

Duties, taxes, and/or fees may be charged by the carrier and/or the country of entry and will be the customer's responsibility.

MISSING PACKAGES
If your tracking number is showing delivered but your package is nowhere to be found, please do the following:
- Make sure the address you entered at checkout is accurate. You can check this on your delivery confirmation email.
- Check the tracking number to see exactly where it was left (mailbox, front porch, back porch, side yard, etc.).
- Check with anyone who lives at your house - sounds silly, but 99% of the time someone in the home has the package and just forgot to relay the information.
- Check with neighbors. Occasionally carriers deliver to the wrong house or to a neighbor when you're not home.
- If your order was sent via USPS, call your local post office for more information.
- Wait a day or two. Carriers have been known to mark packages as delivered 1-2 days early, especially during the holidays.
If none of these steps give you any answers, you can file a missing package claim here for USPS or here for UPS. If you believe the package was stolen, we recommend filing a police report. We are not responsible, nor can we compensate, for lost or stolen packages. Thank you for understanding.
INCORRECT ITEM SHIPPED
If you received the wrong throw or your throw has a flaw, we're so sorry...this happens sometimes. Please email us a photo of what you received and we'll get your exchange processed.
FAQs
Your throw is pre-washed and dried once at our mill before it is shipped to you — it will not shrink if you follow our cleaning instructions. Your throw should wash and dry well with minimal pilling. With that being said, cotton/poly blends may pill slightly during normal wear. Knitted fabrics tend to pill more than woven fabrics because the threads are looser. To take the best care of your throw:- wash and dry your throw minimally to avoid pilling
- wash alone on gentle cycle cold and dry alone on low heat
- use a detergent that contains enzyme cellulase
- use a fabric softener during the rinse cycle
- tumble to dry on low with dryer balls or air dry then fluff in the dryer for several minutes to soften

I'm cheap. I always have been. When comparing two items, I would ALWAYS choose the cheaper one, even if I didn't love it nearly as much. Over time, my husband has been teaching me the value of quality over quantity. I had been drooling over Seek & Swoon blankets for a while when I realized, "why not?...why DON'T I deserve to splurge a little?"...especially for something so meaningful. Small, woman-owned business. Made in the USA. Recycled materials. American mill. COMFY. Check check check check! And now, 1.5 years later, these blankets make me go for quality AND quantity :) I'm addicted. I've purchased 5 for myself, and they've become my go-to gift when I want to give something special and thoughtful.
By far one of my favorite reviews to date! Kimm, thank you so much for taking the time to share this very thoughtful note. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, and your continued support of my business. You know they say when you purchase from a small business the owner does a happy dance? It's true. Sending my best to you and yours this holiday. Cheers! Jala....
Your blankets are beautiful, I think it's the 5th blanket I bought. Mostly gifts. I still am not sure how to look up my points or how many points equal the blankets. If you could let me know that would be great. Your doing a wonderful job. Seeing your blankets in many shops in Bend.
Julie, thanks so much for all of your kind words and for supporting my business. I appreciate each and every purchase you've made and am so grateful you trust my blankets enough to gift them to your friends and loved ones. I'll email you about your points because I absolutely want to make sure you get to use them! Jala....
I will continue to give these for gifts. We gave one to our daughter and received a thank you note for the first time!
Jane, thanks so much for your purchase and for supporting my business. I'm so glad to hear that your daughter is enjoying her throw. How special! Jala....
I purchased this blanket for a new grand nephew. His parents met in Africa while working in the Peace Corps. I love how this blanket reflects their time in Burkina Faso and Mali and fits perfectly into their other keepsakes from their time there.
Janet, I loved hearing the purpose behind your purchase. My husband was actually in the Peace Corps in Guatemala before we met. I know the PC experience is a significant one and I'm honored that you would choose the Baby Birifini Throw to gift as a continuation of their PC story. Thanks so much for your purchase and for supporting my business. Jala....
