Textile company Mela & Roam has some of the prettiest baby blankets to choose from. They are actually called dohars, or traditional Indian summer blankets, and are made from 3 layers of pure cotton. Oh my gosh, these blankets are breathtaking in person! They are light and airy with a weight somewhere between a sheet and a blanket.
The aesthetic combines ethnic Indian block printing with a subdued European color palette, and all the printing and looming is done by hand. And they have them in grownup sizes too, should you want one for yourself. But the baby size is perfect for whether you're heading out for the day or just want a lovely blanket to throw over the side of the crib.
Also at Mela & Roam: really gorgeous silk Indian shawls which are beautifully constructed and hand-stitched. They're said to be imbued with protective powers that bestow happiness, fulfillment, and....fertility. So maybe you'll want to get the scarf before you get the baby blankets. - Kirsten
