Handwoven Cotton Throw Blanket - Blue Stripes

Passion Lilie is a New Orleans-based brand that works with artisan cooperatives in India to make its textiles. The pieces are created using traditional hand block printing and ikat handweaving, with natural and non-toxic dyes, in small batches.

Passion Lilie is a member of the Fair Trade Federation, and its makers are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. Many pieces are made from leftover production fabric to cut waste, and because each one is printed or woven by hand, slight variations are part of its character.
