Blanket Featured on the cover of British Vogue in October 2023 with actors Lily Gladstone (Blackfeet) and Leonardo DiCaprio and photographed by Craig McDean (directed by Edward Enninful)!
This design was created by Louie Gong (Nooksack). He often refers to the pattern as a "collaboration with the ancestors," as he created it after researching traditional Coast Salish weaving. Although many of our products are created using modern technology, it was crucial to Louie he create a design that could be replicated with traditional Coast Salish weaving methods.
Coast Salish art is rarely represented in contemporary textiles, and Louie is proud to help push this particular, often overlooked form to the forefront of Native art and product offerings.
Washington-born, globally produced.

About The Artist:
Louie Gong (Nooksack), founder of Eighth Generation, is a self-taught artist who was raised by his grandparents in the Nooksack tribal community in northwest Washington. He got his start by painting cultural art on shoes, but realized that creating one-of-a-kind pieces did not provide a sustainable pathway to success, so he began applying his artwork to accessibly-priced products. His unique style merges traditional Coast Salish art with influences from his mixed heritage and urban environment to create work that resonates widely across communities and cultures.
