Spread the Warmth

When the weather outside is frightful (or just when you’re in need of something cozy to cuddle up with), wrap yourself in one of Ladak’s sustainable, handmade blankets.
Appropriate for both indoor and outdoor activities, each blanket is assembled from a base of recycled sweaters, blankets, jeans, and mattresses before being adorned with ribbons and rich fabrics. Each product is truly a unique piece of skilled handicraft—no two are exactly alike. As a result, the blankets may vary slightly in size, yet their standard measurement is a roomy 78” x 55”—perfect for a day at the beach or a picnic in the park!
In addition to its commitment to sustainability, Ladak also supports social responsibility. This mission is not only reflected in Ladak’s corporate philosophy, but also in the products themselves—each blanket is named after an inspirational homeless hero (Arie and Willem are shown above) and 15% of Ladak’s profits will be donated to an Amsterdam shelter for the homeless.
Ladak blankets will be available online and at Anthropologie stores this fall.
