Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for a cotton corte blanket?
Your blanket is machine washable and designed for everyday use. We machine wash and dry each piece before it ships, so it arrives ready to use. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and hang to dry or tumble dry low.
Is every cotton corte blanket truly on-of-a-kind?
Yes, no two are exactly alike. Because each blanket is made from a different vintage textile, variations in color, pattern, and stitching are a part of what makes every piece unique. The blanket you see is the one you will receive.
How are cotton corte blankets made?
Guatemalan artisans carefully cut and rework vintage cortes, joining the panels with a traditional hand-embroidered seam called a randa. This detailed stitching both strengthens the blanket and creates a beautiful central design element.
What if I don't see the perfect blanket for me?

Are cotton corte blankets really made from vintage textiles?
Yes, each cotton corte blanket begins as a vintage handwoven textile once worn as a traditional skirt by Mayan women in Guatemala. Our artisan partners thoughtfully transform these textiles into one-of-a-kind blankets, giving the fabric a second life while preserving its history.
