About Mexican Serape Blankets

In its original form, the Sarapes was intended as cheap accessible outer clothing first worn by the poorer working folk of Mexico and Guatemala. Serapes refers to the traditional striped weave that makes up the Mexican blanket design of today.

Popular with just about everyone, Mexican blankets are a versatile textile. They are as much a hardy Yoga blanket, a picnic or beach blanket as a decorative touch. Inside, Mexican blankets add rich warmth and colorful accent to any room in the house.

Mexican blankets are great for brightening up any room, and can be used as a throw, table cover, picnic blanket, bedspread or even a light floor covering or wall hanging! Because Mexican blankets are machine washable, they are also great for keeping your pet's favorite chairs and sofas free of hair and all the dirt our beloved dogs and cats bring in!

The Mexican blankets come in many different colors. The vibrancy of the blankets is created by dying each color strand separately before hand-looming to create striped color waves that seem to melt into each other. The largest stripe is always the primary color and repeated throughout weave, along with complimentary colors. Because of the nature of the weave, each finished blanket is a beautiful, unique work of textile art.
