Blankets are generally an afterthought, and usually just serve one purpose, to keep us warm. Fashion designers are starting to recognize this void and have started to incorporate blankets into their collections. Check out what some of these designers are doing this winter.
Neighborhood Timber/We-Blanket
As part of NEIGHBORHOOD’s accessory offerings for the fall/winter season comes the Timber/We-Blanket. Inspired by 18th century Native American artifacts, the blanket features folk motifs throughout. Available at Haven, $175.
Reigning Champ Twill Terry Blanket
Known for their supple construction and durability, the heavyweight Twill Terry Blanket is a unique yet perfectly suited accessory from Reigning Champ. Made of the same comfortable heavyweight terry cotton fleece as their sweaters, the large blanket features fully bound rib exterior edge with miter corners. $95
Pendleton Portland Collection
With diamond and arrowhead motifs, the Sonora blanket represents one of Pendleton’s most recognizable patterns. Their archives house the original, dating back to 1916. This latest, boldly coloured rendition of the time-honored design pays tribute to the past and showcases Pendleton’s weaving expertise. Unnapped, Felt Bound, 64″ x 80″, Pure Virgin Wool/Cotton woven in Pendleton’s own American Mills and made in the USA. Available online or at Leo Boutique, $199
