Walk in Beauty Wool Blanket

Designed by Diné/Navajo and African American entrepreneur, businesswoman, and artist Ahsaki LaFrance-Chachere, our Walk In Beauty Wool Blanket blends traditional Navajo and West African symbols in honor of Ahsaki's own blended heritage while celebrating the individual beauty each person possesses.  

“The center of the blanket is my favorite Diné rug design—the Dazzling Diamond Eye," explains Ahsaki. "This complex design expresses the talent of Diné weavers. Our weavers carry our stories and teachings, and each design and tool they use has deeper meaning. The border pattern is from my favorite African print—the West African Mud Cloth or “bògòlanfini.” Traditional bògòlanfini are made of cotton fabrics dyed with fermented mud, and are believed to have the power to absorb pain and deflect anything negative or dangerous.” 

The owner of Ah-Shi Beauty, the first Native American owned and operated luxury skincare and cosmetics brand in the United States, Ahsaki’s mission is to embrace her cultures and bring the sacredness of her peoples' way of life to the modern world. With every item Ahsaki creates, her goal is to help every person know the power of their own beauty.
