It's warm, soft and above all it's your best friend when it's cold! But for many people, the blanket is a story of passion and discovery.
The clothing worn by the Highlanders already served various functions. Faced with the strong winds and rain of the highlands, travellers wrapped themselves in this large blanket.

It is said that in ancient times the wool used in blankets was soaked in water by the Highland people. This made the wool swell and provided additional protection against rain and snow.
After walking during the day, this long piece of cloth was laid on the ground, folded several times to provide both bedding and protection from the nighttime chill.
Out of a real need for comfort, we now better understand its use in our homes, particularly in our sofas, armchairs and beds.

Originally, the main function of the plaid was to provide warmth. Today, the Scottish plaid has many advantages: protection of sofas and armchairs, interior decoration as well as a cozy atmosphere.

The very small plaids

The smallest plaid blankets measure approximately 70x100 cm and are most often used as blankets to wrap a baby in .

Used during the first months of childhood to protect the newborn from all types of cold.

Whether in his crib , in the arms of his mother or father, in a stroller in the rain or on the sofa near the fireplace, the baby will always stay nice and warm.

A baby blanket is an excellent idea for a birth gift .

The little polar blanket

Measuring approximately 110x150 cm, it allows a young child (5 to 10 years old) to move around in every corner of the house with a Roman emperor's toga without catching cold.

You can also cover an armchair or a small sofa to avoid stains when hot chocolate is spilled, fold it in the corner of your child's bed and use it as an emergency blanket or as simple decoration.
These blankets will be the ultimate must-have to wear as a shawl or lap blanket.

In fact, due to their very respectable size, they can keep the whole family warm in front of a film or serve as an emergency blanket in the event of an impromptu nap for the little one at a friend's or family's house during dinner.

So discover our polar blankets without further delay.

The average size of a blanket

The classic size of the plaid will be 130x180 cm. It is an additional blanket, large enough for one or two people, mainly used as a bedspread or even in interior decoration, especially with the collection of cocooning plaids .

Available in several materials, these are bedspreads of unparalleled softness.

The large soft and warm blanket

Finally, the size that will remain the most practical on a daily basis is 220x240cm or 180x200cm.

An optimal size to warm up 2 (or more) underneath. In addition, whether you are alone or several, it will be large enough to satisfy everyone without anyone running out of space.
