Falseria Blanket
Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this one-of-a-kind throw is a masterwork of craftsmanship. Once common in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a few master weavers. The process—designed to replicate the intricate motifs of traditional backstrap weaving on a larger scale—requires the precise coordination of 29 heddles. For each line of pattern, the weaver must lift a specific combination of ropes by hand, guided by a graph-paper pattern meticulously drafted for each design. This labor-intensive method takes up to eight times longer than weaving a solid fabric.
Each loom is custom-designed and built by local carpenters, tailored specifically to this technique. The floral motif featured in this throw reflects an old-world elegance that echoes the work of some of Regan’s longtime favorite textile designers from Italy—timeless, refined, and rooted in tradition. Because the fabric’s width is limited by the constraints of the loom, every seam and finish detail was thoughtfully considered and custom designed. The panels are joined with precision, honoring the complexity of the pattern while elevating the piece as a whole.
Finished by Irma with hand-knotted macramé and backed in a solid handwoven textile to protect its delicate surface, this throw adds both visual depth and substantial weight as a luxurious bed layer. A blend of heritage, precision, and elegance, it honors tradition while offering enduring beauty for modern homes.
