Quito Blanket - Mustard Yellow

A chance encounter between two hearts from different worlds sparked something beautiful. When an entrepreneur from Quito met a volunteer from Nebraska in the highlands of Ecuador, they discovered a shared passion for the stunning textiles created by Indigenous artisans of Otavalo. Their first blanket purchase together became the seed of a larger vision.

The artisans behind these throws work in the vibrant tradition of their ancestors, using techniques passed down through generations of skilled hands. Each piece reflects not just craftsmanship, but a commitment to healthy working environments and sustainable practices, transforming post-consumer recycled materials into works of art.

This is conscious commerce at its most meaningful. Every throw represents a bridge between cultures, connecting the ancient weaving wisdom of Ecuador's Indigenous communities with conscious consumers who value authenticity and ethical sourcing. The work goes beyond borders, creating connections that honor both tradition and environmental responsibility.
