5 out of 5 starsPerfectly made! There is nothing better than something handmade and stitched with love! This blanket is handmade by the elderly in Nepal and I truly loved to learn about the mission of this shop. It is beautifully made with beautiful floral patterns. Lorina was super kind and helpful in addressing my questions! If you want to make a meaningful purchase, buy with the confidence!
