THE STORY BEHIND OUR BLANKET JACKETS
The craftsmanship of our blanket jackets is a proof to the love and skill of our artisans in Rudrapur, India. Each jacket is meticulously crafted from handwoven wool blankets. Ensuring that no two pieces are the same. These unique blankets not only highlights the individuality of each jacket but also underlines our commitment to sustainability.
By using these blankets, we minimise waste by using textiles that have already been created and embrace a more environmentally responsible approach to fashion.
Each blanket jacket is made from 100% handwoven wool, a material that boasts inherent durability and natural properties. Wool is renowned for its breathability, moisture-wicking ability, and warmth, making it an ideal choice for versatile winter wear. The unique texture and natural insulation provided by wool contribute to the comfort and longevity of our jackets, ensuring they remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
The artisans involved in this meticulous weaving process are not just skilled labourers; they are guardians of traditional crafting techniques that have been passed down through generations. Each stitch reflects their expertise and dedication, resulting in a finished product that embodies both artistry and function. This connection to human craftsmanship enhances the value of each jacket, as wearers can appreciate the time, effort, and passion that goes into creating each one.

The excellent craftsmanship and responsible sourcing of materials ensure that each jacket is both a statement and a conscious choice for the environmentally-aware consumer.
VERSATILE COMFORT

The collarless design makes layering easy. Pair your jacket with shirts, jeans, dungarees or dresses. It works for any climate. Roomy pockets add convenience, letting you carry essentials without sacrificing style.

CARING FOR YOUR BLANKET JACKET: SIMPLE TIPS FOR LONGEVITY
Taking care of your blanket jacket is easier than you might think. Wool is a natural, self-cleaning fiber, which means it doesn’t need frequent washing or dry cleaning. Instead, follow these simple care tips to keep your jacket fresh and looking its best.
AIR IT OUT
Wool has a natural ability to deodorise and refresh itself when exposed to air. After wearing your jacket, simply hang it on a sturdy hanger in a well-ventilated area. This allows the fabric to release any trapped odours and stay fresh without washing.
SPOT CLEAN BLANKET JACKET WHEN NEEDED
For small spills or stains, spot clean your waistcoat with a damp cloth or sponge and mild non bio detergent. Gently blot the area instead of scrubbing to avoid damaging the fibers. This method keeps your jacket clean without subjecting it to unnecessary wear and tear.
SKIP THE WASH AND DRY CLEANING YOUR BLANKET JACKET
There’s no need to wash or dry clean your jacket regularly. Washing can be hard on wool fibers, while dry cleaning involves harsh chemicals that can strip away natural wool oils. By relying on spot cleaning and airing, you’ll preserve the fabric’s durability and appearance.

STORE PROPERLY
When you’re not wearing your jacket, hang it on a good-quality hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to allow the fabric to breathe. For long-term storage, consider placing it in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and moths.
By following these simple steps, you’ll extend the life of your blanket jacket, keeping it fresh, functional, and beautiful for years to come.
