Hudson's Bay Company point blankets are among North America's most recognizable textiles. The "point" system (indicated by short black lines woven into the blanket) was developed to help traders quickly identify blanket sizes. These blankets were essential trade goods and became deeply integrated into Indigenous cultures across Canada.
The classic stripe pattern - featuring green, red, yellow, and indigo on a white background - has remained virtually unchanged since the 18th century, making this blanket a direct link to Canada's fur trading era.
Professional dry cleaning recommended to preserve wool fibers and colors.
