Description:

Noa Blanket Co. weave luxury NZ wool blankets that share stories of our inherent identity, each narrative a unique expression and extraordinary perspective of our common world. Intentionally drawing on Māori designs made here in Aotearoa, Noa blankets give a deeper meaning to the ceremony of gift giving. Sharing treasured designs that reflect our identity in our homes or adorned as a fashion statement, supporting the transmission of intergenerational knowledge through art & textile. We believe sharing our individual story reiterates our connectedness, as the essence of each celebrates our shared core values.

Each blanket is a vibrant tapestry that tells a story, featuring patterning and design elements that not only warm and calm a restless body, but is a work of art, a tāonga, a collaboration of culture and colour, a woven representation of our communities, and our Nation's strength and resilience - in a fabric which in itself is apart of our story, wool.
