Materials and Certificates
Crafting our products begins with thoughtfully selecting materials, with a focus on prioritizing natural fibers.
Chosen for their comfort, durability, and eco-friendly properties, these materials enhance the user experience with their touchable and breathable qualities. Unlike synthetic alternatives, our preference for natural fibers reflects our commitment to responsible production, contributing to a healthier environment and overall well-being. Our approach ensures that our woven blankets are a reliable choice for those seeking environmentally conscious and thoughtfully crafted textile solutions.
We are certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), Control Union CB-CUC-1184420. The Responsible Wool Standard describes and independently certifies animal welfare and land management practices in wool production and tracks the certified material from farm to final product.
