About the blanket:

ECO-FRIENDLY

Recycled U.S. Apparel is collected + ground up into fibers. Then, those fibers are sent to Mexico to be threaded + woven into blankets.

ETHICAL

Our Mexican Falsa Blankets are made by individuals in a town called Tlaxcala in Southern Mexico. Most who weave these blankets are farmers by trade. These blankets serve as income for both individuals and families. This work encourages strong communities. From the income made from these blankets alone, they have been able to build a school + community centers in their village.

How this blanket helps:

Our Sahara blanket donates 10% of its proceeds to the International Rhino Foundation. The IRF actively works through research and conservation, to aid in the survival of rhino species around the world, for generations to come.

FAIR TRADE

The recycled U.S. apparel fibers are given to artisans each week. They weave what they desire, during the week and then get paid by weight + the labor they put forth. In addition to already being paid double the minimum wage. Purchasing these blankets and giving the artisans work, ensures their important transition of weaving, is kept alive. Fair pay creates stable jobs. This enables families to stay together, when members don't have to go else where for better opportunity.
