At Seek & Swoon, we’ve always believed our blankets are more than just something you throw over your couch.
They hold stories. They travel with you. They become part of your everyday life.
And sometimes, they become part of something much bigger.
Recently, we had the chance to talk with one of our most loyal customers — someone who has made over 25 purchases with us (yes, really). You might be inspired by her story, like we are.
Finding Comfort in an Unexpected Chapter
Back in 2018, Jessy's life changed overnight after a serious motorcross accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury.
Everything shifted — from her daily routines to the things that once brought her joy.
“I became someone I didn’t know… I had a lot of time all of a sudden, and one day scrolling Instagram I found Seek & Swoon.”
What started as a simple discovery quickly became something more.
She was drawn to Seek & Swoon for its roots — woman-owned, local, and inspired by travel — but also because she found herself at home more often, needing comfort in a new way.
“I never loved any blankets I had until I got my first Seek & Swoon — and I never bought another brand again.”
A First Blanket That Sparked Something Bigger
Her first purchase was the Envie Throw — inspired by Paris.
She hadn’t been there yet, but something about it spoke to her.
“I just loved the colors… and Paris is on my list.”
That moment turned into something bigger: a collection built around places she’s been — and places she dreams of going.
Why She Keeps Coming Back
What began with design quickly became about something deeper.
“They make me feel happy… when I look at them, I think about places I’ve been — or places I want to go.”
Each blanket became a reminder. A memory. A future destination.
And, very practically:
-
They’re soft
-
They’re durable
-
They’re machine-washable (a big deal in a home with dogs)
“I wash and dry them often and they still look great.”
The Moments That Matter Most
Some parts of her story are joyful — blankets draped over every chair, packed into an RV, layered into daily life.
And some are deeply emotional.
“One of our dogs passed away… she loved her Seek & Swoon blanket, and we wrapped her in it when we buried her.”
It’s a reminder that the things we live with every day quietly become part of our most meaningful moments.
Gifts With Purpose
She’s also used Seek & Swoon as a way to give back.
One example: gifting the Desert Dweller Throw to her mom — not just because it’s beautiful, but because it supports Indigenous communities.
“I love things with purpose… and I like to give back.”
Travel, Memory, and Meaning
Like many of our designs, her favorite blanket is tied to a place — Bend, Oregon.
It’s where she built memories with family, where she got her dog, and where she continues to return.
“It just makes me happy to think of all the good times we’ve had there.”
That’s exactly what Seek & Swoon was meant to do.
A Brand That Feels Personal
When we asked what makes Seek & Swoon different, her answer was simple:
- The quality
- The unique designs
- The ease of care
- And the experience of working with a small business
“Out of the 25 purchases I’ve made… I had one issue and it was replaced so quickly. It was so easy.”
