The moment we saw the first sample, we knew this blanket could only be called Feliz—Spanish for “happy.” In Maya culture, color is more than decoration; it’s a language of emotion, celebration, and identity. Feliz honors that spirit with radiant hues carefully chosen and arranged to spark joy and warmth.
This blanket is a true original by Lidia. The weaver developed and mastered a one-of-a-kind technique to achieve its signature look—layering vibrant colors in a way that creates movement, dimension, and visual rhythm. Woven panel by panel on a traditional loom, each section is later joined by hand using a custom criss-cross stitch invented just for this piece. The stitch isn’t just structural—it adds a playful, tactile detail that echoes the design’s joyful intent.
We also pulled colors from across our collections to create a palette that feels both nostalgic and fresh, enhancing the blanket’s versatility. Made from luxuriously soft cotton, Feliz is as comforting to the touch as it is uplifting to the eye—an expression of happiness, handwoven into every thread.
