Mediterranean Star Blanket, Lavendar

The Mediterranean Star Blanket is inspired by Uttu, the Sumerian goddess of weaving.
Featuring an ancient Kilim star motif said to bring fertility, joy and protection, the luxurious heavyweight cotton is handwoven on century old looms and made to last a lifetime. 

Embracing artisanal skills from ancestral tradition and combining them with contemporary design inspired by the Mediterranean and African cultures, this generously-sized piece is perfect as a blanket or bedspread or an oversized throw for your outdoor adventures.

The collection combines elegance and functionality with ethical production to support local economies. It praises the beauty of the unique and the long story of handmade items. 

Mizar & Alcor works hand in hand with local artisans who remain faithful to a time-honored process; their textiles are handwoven using sustainable materials such as certified 100% organic cotton & linen. These are lightweight fibres that require less energy to wash and less material to weave. Their fabrics are certified with Standard 100 Oeko-Tex meaning they have been tested for human and environmental safety and guarantee the absence of harmful substances.

We are proud to support Mizar & Alcor who ensure artisans a fair wage and comprehensive health coverage. Additionally, they are carbon negative by offsetting 200% of their annual carbon impact. These offsets enable funding of sustainable development projects which provide safe drinking water in Laos.
