In an age where fast fashion and mass production often dominate the textile industry, there’s something special about owning a product that has been thoughtfully designed and made right here at home. At Seek & Swoon, we take pride in the fact that our blankets aren’t just beautiful—they’re also crafted with care in the United States, using eco-friendly materials and processes that honor both craftsmanship and sustainability. Here’s a look at the journey from our home in Portland to yours, and why American-made matters.

American-Made Craftsmanship

There’s a unique attention to detail that comes from products made in the U.S. By keeping our manufacturing local, we’re able to work closely with our partners to ensure every step of the process is handled with the utmost care. From the initial design stages in Portland to the knitting of each blanket at our family owned mill partner, the proximity to our production allows us to maintain high-quality standards that result in a product we’re proud to offer our customers.

Supporting American-made goods isn’t just about quality control—it’s about supporting local economies, fair labor practices, and reducing our environmental footprint. Each Seek & Swoon blanket is made in a small, family-run mill in the U.S., where decades of expertise and tradition go into every throw we create.

A Commitment to Sustainability

We don’t just focus on where our blankets are made, but how they’re made. Sustainability is at the heart of Seek & Swoon. Our blankets are crafted from recycled cotton yarns, which means fewer resources are used in the production process, and waste is kept to a minimum. By using recycled materials, we’re able to give new life to textiles that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

This eco-conscious approach is something we’re deeply passionate about. When you purchase a Seek & Swoon blanket, you’re not just buying a piece of home decor—you’re supporting sustainable practices that help protect the planet for future generations.

Inspired by Travel, Designed in Portland

Every Seek & Swoon blanket tells a story, inspired by places around the world that spark curiosity, wonder, and adventure. While our blankets are proudly made in the U.S., their designs take you on a journey. From the bold, geometric patterns of the Envie Throw to the soothing, coastal hues of the Manazanita Throw, each piece reflects a unique destination. And while our inspiration is global, our roots are deeply connected to Portland.

Portland is a city known for its creativity, sustainability, and a strong sense of community—values that are reflected in everything we do. Whether we’re designing a new pattern or finding new ways to reduce waste, we carry the spirit of Portland with us in every step of our process.

American-Made Matters More Than Ever

In today’s global marketplace, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the products we buy. Mass-produced items often lack the craftsmanship and personal touch that makes a home truly feel like home. That’s why we believe in the importance of American-made products. When you buy from Seek & Swoon, you’re not only investing in a high-quality, sustainable throw blanket, but also in the skilled hands and local businesses behind it.

By choosing American-made, you’re supporting small businesses and craftspeople who are passionate about their work. You’re helping to create jobs and bolster local economies, all while reducing your carbon footprint. It’s a win-win—for you, for the makers, and for the planet.

Bringing the World to Your Living Room

While our blankets are made in the U.S., their journey doesn’t stop there. Once crafted, they make their way from our knitting mill to our woman-owned warehouse and shipping facility and then directly to your home. Whether you’re curling up with a good book, hosting a cozy movie night, or simply adding a touch of warmth to your decor, our blankets are designed to create a sense of comfort and connection.

We invite you to explore our collection and find a piece that speaks to you. Whether it’s the bold patterns, the soft textures, or the meaningful sustainability behind every throw, we hope that your Seek & Swoon blanket becomes more than just an accessory—it becomes a cherished part of your home.


From Portland to your home, Seek & Swoon blankets are a celebration of craftsmanship, sustainability, and the joy of slow living. We believe that every blanket has a story to tell, and we’re proud to be part of a movement that values quality over quantity, tradition over trends, and local production over mass manufacturing. Thank you for choosing American-made, and for letting us bring a little piece of Portland into your home.
