Recycled Cotton Blend Blanket - Bright Stripe

This colorful throw blanket is a versatile must-have for any home! Featuring a vintage striped chevron weave with selvage edges and knotted fringes that complete the finely finished, handcrafted look. A timeless "beach cottage" design that brings a touch of classic fun to any space! Made by artisans with Asha Handicrafts Association, which has promoted the social and economic development of artisans throughout India for more than 40 years.

This blanket is made using post-industrial recycled cotton that reduces landfill waste and conserves water compared to new cotton processing. By incorporating sorted secondhand materials, we extend the lifecycle of existing textiles and give unknown apparel fibers a practical new purpose.
