Not a throw. A frazada.

A frazada is a handwoven Andean blanket — heavy, densely woven from highland sheep wool, and made over weeks by artisans in the Peruvian highlands using techniques that haven't changed in generations. The colours come from natural dyes applied before weaving. The patterns are the weaver's own — bold geometric forms and colour combinations that vary from piece to piece because they were made by hand, not by machine.

In Andean communities, frazadas have traditionally been used as blankets, floor coverings, and wrapping cloths. Orange Inca sources them directly and brings them to Australia in their complete, original form.

Each frazada is one of a kind. The pattern and colourway will not be repeated — not because supply is limited, but because no two weavers, no two dye batches, and no two sittings produce the same outcome. What you receive is that exact piece, with that exact history.

Used as a statement floor rug, draped over a sofa, layered at the foot of a bed, hung as a wall textile, or taken outside for a long afternoon. Heavy enough to anchor a space. Distinctive enough to define one.

Designed in Australia. Handwoven in Peru.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a frazada?
A frazada is a handwoven wool blanket from the Peruvian Andes — thick, warm, and built for actual use. Each piece is woven in two halves on a backstrap loom and joined at the centre by hand. That seam running down the middle of every frazada is not a flaw — it is a record of how it was made. The colours come from natural dyes — cochineal, indigo, plant extracts — and the patterns are the weaver's own design. No two frazadas are identical.

What are frazada blankets used for?
As floor rugs, sofa throws, wall hangings, bed layers, outdoor picnic blankets, and tablecloths. The flat weave is dense enough to lie flat as a rug without slipping, and warm enough to use as a throw through autumn and winter. Most people find more uses for a frazada than they expected when they first bought one.

What is the difference between a frazada and a cobija?
Both are handwoven blankets, but from different Andean regions and traditions. Frazada is the Peruvian and Bolivian term — the Aymara and Quechua highland tradition, woven in two panels on a backstrap loom and joined at the centre seam. Cobija is used in Mexico, Colombia, and Central America, where the technique, fibre, and pattern language differ. Manta is the broader Spanish word for any blanket.
