Awa Blanket in Natural / Black
The Awa Blanket in Natural and Black is for people who appreciate that warmth can carry a story, and that some stories are better experienced while wrapped in something ridiculously soft.
What It Is:
Named after an ancient tribe living in the lush rainforests of northwestern Ecuador and Colombia, this 100% recycled acrylic blanket brings a touch of culture, color, and slightly existential pondering to your space. Designed for everything from spontaneous outdoor adventures to long, reflective indoor afternoons, the Awa Blanket balances practicality with narrative. Its understated black-and-natural palette adds minimalist sophistication while honoring a centuries-old textile tradition.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because it’s not just a blanket—it’s a cultural artifact disguised as comfort. Use it for a picnic, a late-night Netflix binge, or as an accent piece that quietly suggests your home has more depth than your average apartment. Wherever it goes, it transforms ordinary moments into tactile experiences worth thinking about.

About the brand: Beyond Borders Collective
Beyond Borders Collective is what happens when obsessively curious travelers collide with textiles that have stories older than your sense of responsibility. Raul and Kirsten scour Ecuador, Peru, Turkey, and beyond, collaborating with artisans whose hands have been threading patterns for generations, then translate that craft into blankets that feel both timeless and mildly existential. They make things in small batches, prioritize recycled and eco-friendly fibers, and operate ethically—not because it’s trendy, but because they actually care about the humans behind the weave. These aren’t just blankets; they’re cultural artifacts disguised as comfort, objects that make you question why every other thing in your apartment isn’t this considered.
