"Coast Salish Pattern" Baby Blanket

  • $179.00

Made right in our Seattle studio, this super soft, 100% Merino wool baby blanket was designed by Louie Gong (Nooksack) after diving into researching traditional Coast Salish weaving. Although our blankets are created using modern technology, it was critical to Louie that he create a design that could be replicated with traditional Coast Salish weaving methods.

Though Coast Salish art is Indigenous to a broad geographic area that includes Seattle and Vancouver, it is rarely represented in public art or products. Louie is proud to help increase the visibility of this form.

about the artist

Louie Gong (Nooksack), founder of Eighth Generation, is a self-taught artist who was raised by his grandparents in the Nooksack tribal community in northwest Washington. He got his start by painting cultural art on shoes, but realized that creating one-of-a-kind pieces did not provide a sustainable pathway to success, and began applying his artwork to accessibly-priced products. Louie’s unique style merges traditional Coast Salish art with influences from his mixed heritage and urban environment to create work that resonates widely across communities and cultures.
