The role of blankets is woven deep in the history of Native Americans. For centuries, they have been used for warmth and comfort, as a medium of exchange, for artistic expression and as an important part of ceremonies and tribal councils. Pendleton, an authentic company founded in Portland, Oregon in 1909, has been producing blankets that honour this culture’s special symbols, traditions and beliefs for over a century. Originally, Native Americans brought their own designs to Pendleton, depicting their beliefs and legends, while today, the company works closely with Native Americans to create high-quality blankets in vivid new designs, with a new pattern introduced each year as a symbol of the design’s history. For the upcoming cold months, these beautifully woven blankets will be the perfect warm companions draped on a sofa as you catch up on your holiday movies.
