Beautifully British Blankets

XV Stripes launch The Compass Blanket

Independent interiors brand XV Stripes has launched a new blanket that encapsulates the brand’s love of the coast as well as its commitment to the environment.


Resplendent in XV Stripes’ dazzling blue and crisp white colours, The Compass Blanket puts the navigational instrument centre stage, with a striking hand-drawn illustration taking up most of the blanket.


Great looks aside, the double-sided blanket is manufactured in the UK from 75% recycled cotton.


Izzey Hung, founder of XV Stripes, said: “When we decided to add to our blanket collection, we knew we wanted to stick to our roots and create a piece that not only paid homage to our beautiful coast, but also protect it too.


“We worked hard to find a British manufacturer who could create a piece that not only looked stunning but would use sustainable and eco fibres.


“The result is a gorgeous blanket that would look as beautiful on the beach as it would a couch or a bed.”


The Compass Blanket is available now from xvstripes.com priced at £120.

About XVstripes

Inspired by a love of coastal living and the ocean, XV stripes captures the essence of laid back, sustainable luxe for your bedroom and home.

XV stripes was born from a meeting of minds. Founder Izzey Hung nurtured the desire to reflect her love of the ocean, and all things on it and under it – particularly the Isle of Wight & Hampshire – her home. When an intensive search failed to inspire her, with lack of sustainable quality products, she decided the time had come to follow her dream. XV stripes was born. An introduction to designer Vicky Sanders, Ex Head of Design at Matthew Williamson and Zara Home,  the creative process and story of XV began.
