Cherished is a set of two handwoven lengths inspired by the vintage wool blankets that were tucked away in holiday houses and dragged out after long days at the beach and for nights camping by a fire with my family.

I designed these woven lengths to be lightweight for versatility and longevity, while emulating my childhood memories through colour and pattern in the hopes that these can become everyday family heirlooms to be Cherished.
