Warmth. Style. Useful. Colorful. Decorative. All great words to describe a serape blanket. You have seen these blankets around and they come back into style every other decade. They have been around for generations and made on hand looms. Depending on the maker, they come in different colors, weights and patterns too. Serape blankets are incredibly versatile and so useful!

How many Uses Are There?

A serape blanket can be used both indoors and outdoors. It has this unique versatility for a vast array of uses because of its durable woven pattern. Serape blankets are great for taking to the beach as a towel, practicing your yoga or stretching, using on a camping or hiking trip, picnics in the park, sitting on the ground at a concert or festival, placing it as a table runner, strapping it to your motorcycle, keeping in your car for emergency needs, snuggling on the porch, utilizing as a pet blanket, seat covers for your car, décor for your boho chic house, or a simple throw for your couch or bed.

You can repurpose serape blankets for seat cushions, pillows, stockings, wall hangings, and more. In the simplest thought, all blankets are really just sheets of material, cut into rectangles, that we use on our couches and beds. So you could use any serape blanket for many patterns. Perhaps a serape blanket bikini is a bit far fetched, but use it to cover any furniture you like! * Serape printed bikinis do exist though, if you fancy that style.

Make Your Serape Blanket Last Years

The Vera Cruz blanket is our go-to blanket for picnics, trips to the beach, concerts, or as a great accent throw. These blankets have a higher cotton content and a tighter weave than our other classic blankets, resulting in a heavier blanket with a more finished look. The Vera Cruz blankets are firmer, and initially may not be as soft as initially, however, much like your favorite pair of jeans, they become softer and you'll love them more and more after each wash.

Care Instructions:

Hand or machine wash in warm or cold water. Tumble dry with low heat. Adding softener when washing or a softener sheet in the dryer makes them feel great. Lint will go away after 1 or 2 washing. Be sure to empty your lint trap. Due to the authentic nature of the manufacturing process there may be loose strings. Simply remove these with a scissors or keep the rustic look.

DISCLAIMER: Although we try to represent all of our products as accurately as possible, due to the nature of Mexican blankets, the tone of the colors can vary and may not match the photo exactly.
