Frankfurt's Blanket Store
-
Natalie Gray's Blanket Store has been a Frankfurt staple since it opened its doors at this location in October 2009. -
Rows of blankets line the wall, and the shop offers an international selection from 18 different countries. -
Lithuanian Mirage. "This blanket comes from New Zealand sheeps' wool," says Gray. "I like the old-fashioned pattern, and the good robust quality. My idea of a true blanket." -
Hudson's Bay Point. "I like the very basic colors and the history of this blanket." -
Picnic Blanket. "I like this handwoven picnic blanket (with a wax cloth sheet!) from England because it's made by a small company in a small town. They don´t always answer the phone or emails, so I always imagine them out drinking tea in their garden." -
Colour Bomb. "By Scholten and Baijings, designers from the Netherlands." -
Clean Edge. "Very chic design, from Peru. It is made from the softest kind of baby Alpaca wool, which actually comes from the neck area. -
Midnight Blue Mohair. "This is from South Africa. It's the softest and lightest Mohair I have ever touched, and the blue is very deep but warm." -
Mohair Felted Blanket. "This was handwoven in Germany, and felted afterward. These blankets are offered in fine color combinations and are very warm and robust." -
Stripes. "It's hard to imagine that this cotton bedspread from Bangladesh is actually handmade. One blanket takes 3 months to make, and if you look closely you see the tiny white stitches everywhere."
