Every Stripe
Has a Story
Green, red, yellow, indigo. These four colours are part of our shared Canadian story,
and originated in 1780 with the original Hudson’s Bay English-made wool Point blankets.
Hudson’s Bay still sells these beautiful family heirlooms today, and there are now many
more ways to share in the stripe love, like our plush or packable beach towels.
