ABOUT THE DESIGN

The Anishinaabe people believe the thunderbird to be one of the highest spiritual beings. It protects us from the serpents that live deep within the ground and ensures life for all living things.

The thunderbird is part of our natural law that teaches us that all living things must be treated with respect and integrity so that we can all survive.
This sacred bird comes here in the spring from the west bringing thunderstorms and rain. Then they do the same in the fall before returning west before winter. 
This spiritual symbol represents power, protection, strength and survival.

Elle est parfaitement imparfaite, toute

"Elle est parfaitement imparfaite, toute la famille se l’arrache. J’ai dû méticuleusement chercher pour trouver le défaut. C’était de la grosseur d’un 25 sous, un endroit un peu dégarni comparé au reste. Ça n’enlève en rien les qualités de la couverture. Je suis pleinement satisfaite!"

Magnifique

"Douce et réconfortante, magnifique dans notre chambre à coucher"

THE BEST

"This is THE BEST and most BEAUTIFUL, SOFTEST blanket I have ever purchased!!! I LOVE that it is wool. The flaw is soooo minimal, I didn’t even notice it! I am also a HUGE FAN of supporting Indigenous-owned businesses ❤️!!! 💯 recommend this product!!"

Alison F. (5/5)

Coziest Blanket!

"I purchased this blanket from the perfectly imperfect sale. The sticker on the blanket said that it was a few inches shorter than what the blanket is supposed to be. Well, I don’t even notice any loss in length and it’s still comfy and cosy and has more than enough room to spare. This is a staple piece that matches my home decor and also helps support A beautiful Canadian small business ! I would recommend this blanket and any other items if you’re thinking of picking something up!"
