About the Brand and Manufacturer

Mungo is a homeware textile company based in South Africa. Their mission is to create heirloom-quality woven goods with integrity in an open and transparent manner. In 1998, Master Weaver Stuart Holding came in possession of two restored antique looms. He used these looms to weave limited runs of beautiful homeware textiles from what he called his 'working weaving museum' - an old barn where passersby could watch him work. Soon demand outstripped supply and Mungo expanded production to a mill housed in an old dairy building a few kilometers away. Years later, things have changed; they have left the cows behind, moved to their very own mill and opened four stores. In 2017 the Mungo team fulfilled a long cherished dream; building their own mill on the grounds of Old Nick Village, near Stuart's original barn, and next door to their flagship store. The Mungo Mill is a testament to our philosophy of transparency in the production process, with the entire mill open to the public.
