El Viajero Blanket in Grey Sunrise
Translated literally, El Viajero is “the traveler,” but in practice it’s more like “the enabler of naps that make you wonder if productivity was ever the point in the first place."
What It Is:
The El Viajero Blanket in Grey Sunrise is part of Beyond Borders Collective’s Wasi collection, inspired by the rugged mystery of the Ecuadorian Andes. Woven from 100% recycled acrylic, it’s soft, oversized, and designed to be equally at home on a camping trip, draped across your couch, or wrapped around you while you pretend to “just rest your eyes” for 45 minutes. With muted greys punctuated by sunrise tones of red, orange, mustard yellow, and blue, it’s both minimalist in vibe and maximalist in comfort.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because no one buys a blanket just to look at it—you buy it to live in it. This one works anywhere: around the fire pit, on a road trip, across your bed, or as the perfect low-effort design choice that suddenly makes your whole space look intentional. And since it’s sustainably crafted from recycled materials in Ecuador, it’s not just cozy—it’s conscious.
Key Details:

Ethically crafted in Ecuador as part of the Wasi collection
The El Viajero Blanket is more than a blanket—it’s a cultural connection, a design statement, and the softest possible excuse for skipping whatever you swore you were going to get done today.
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.
