Berkshire Blanket & Home Co., known for its comfort fabrications in blankets, throws, warmth sheets and decorative pillows, has partnered with the original, authentic apparel brand for urban dwellers, Brooklyn Industries, to introduce a warm home collection featuring original artwork from the Brooklyn Industries graphic archive. The new collection will include recycled wool blankets, organic cotton jersey pillows, embroidered throws and duvet covers.  

“Brooklyn Industries has a deep collection of authentic Brooklyn-inspired, on-trend designs, coveted by the hard-to-reach millennial consumer,” says Mei Higgins, Vice President of Product Development and Merchandising at Berkshire. “It’s an inspiring brand, both in style and social responsibility philosophy. We knew it would pair beautifully with our eco-friendly fabrications like recycled wool, organic cotton and recycled polyester.”

“Brooklyn Industries is a natural lifestyle brand that embodies creativity and sustainability,” says Lexy Funk, co-founder and CEO of Brooklyn Industries. “Our partnership with Berkshire is an exciting collaboration into home goods. The team at Berkshire did an amazing job translating our graphics into pillows, throws and blankets that are eco and playful at the same time. Not an easy task!”
