Charcoal cotton crossed with white lines and dots, laid out under the plate like a sketch of scattered sticks.

Why We Chose It

Tsvimbo means sticks in Shona. Each design is drawn by hand in sadza, a maize paste, and left to dry in the sun. The cloth is then painted by hand and baked to set the color before the paste is scraped away, which leaves that soft crackle you only get from a resist done by hand. They are made in Zimbabwe at a workshop that gives men and women steady, long-term work.
