Jamaica Tapestry Blanket
Some places live in you before you've ever been there. Jamaica is one of them — the colors, the rhythm, the feeling that something warm and alive is always happening just around the corner. This blanket carries that energy.
Black, green, and gold. A botanical mandala at the center, hibiscus blooming at its edges, tropical leaves reaching outward, and a field of stars scattered across the night. Diagonal stripes that move like music. A diamond border that grounds it all. The Unofficial DC logo signed in the corner — because this one belongs to the culture.
Every detail was woven into this blanket on a Jacquard loom — cotton threads interlaced one at a time until those petals, those leaves, those stars emerged from inside the fabric itself. Nothing is printed on the surface. The image is the cloth. That's why the colors stay rich wash after wash, why you can flip it over and see the same design in reversed tones, and why it feels heavier and more real than anything you've held that came off a printer.
54" × 72". 100% cotton. Made in the USA. Throw it on the couch, take it outside, hang it on the wall. However you use it, it's going to start a conversation.
About This Blanket
This is a Jacquard woven tapestry blanket, not a printed blanket. Jacquard weaving is a textile technique originating in early 1800s France where a specialized loom interlaces colored cotton threads one row at a time to build the image directly into the fabric. The design is permanent — it will never fade, peel, or crack because the color is the thread itself, not ink applied to a surface. The Unofficial DC logo featured on this blanket is derived from the Washington DC flag, which itself comes from George Washington's family coat of arms. The three stars from the original flag are retained, the two bars are transformed into the letters D and C, and the elements are wrapped in a heart representing love for the city.
The Jamaica colorway uses the black, green, and gold palette of the Jamaican flag and features a botanical mandala design with hibiscus flowers, tropical leaves, and a scattered star field. The design celebrates the deep cultural connection between Jamaican heritage and the Washington DC community, where Caribbean culture is a living part of the city's identity.
Each blanket is fully reversible, displaying the same design in inverted colors on the back. Made from 100% cotton at a US textile mill with over 50 years of operation. Pre-washed at the mill and gets softer with every wash. Machine washable. Finished with decorative fringe created from the primary thread colors.
