The Family Floral Limited Edition Throw Blanket designed by Shoshone Bannock Artist Kira Murillo is the first of Eighth Generation’s full-sized Gold Label blankets, a historic collection of Native-made and designed wool blankets created from start to finish in our Seattle studio.
Kira’s inaugural blanket design showcases the striking combination of floral and geometric elements that are often reflected in her tribal community’s artwork and regalia. As a tattoo artist, Kira incorporates these elements in bold blocks of color in a style not often seen in the tattoo industry. “Growing up in the powwow circle,” Kira shares, “I was taught how to make and design my own dance regalia from my moms and aunties, and eventually started making dresses and accessories for others as well.” Family Floral is the first blanket Kira has designed.
Representing growth and interconnection, Family Floral speaks to the many directions that life can go, the steps we take to achieve our goals, and the continual expansion of our families, communities, and knowledge. “I’m excited to share this blanket with the world,” says Kira.

“These vibrant Native-made wool blankets tell a powerful story that expands on the outdated narratives around resilience and captures the idea of Native excellence. We hope each Gold Label blanket will carry that important message into people's homes,” says Louie Gong, Eighth Generation Founder, and CEO.
