What's a cross between a robe and a blanket? A ranket? Perhaps, but that doesn't sound as cozy as the "Blanquette" by Yumi & Laurie. How to pronounce it, we couldn't tell you, but we can tell you what it's made out of and where to find one...

Those look surprisingly similar to towels we had in our bathroom in the late 70s/early 80s.

So it's just a giant towel? Seems like a waste of money.

Does not say whether or not those organic fibers are vegetable dyed or standard chemical dyes to get those strong colors.
I will stick with cashmere for that price.

Hmm...Blanquette is a stew with white sauce. I agree, though, that $225 for a big towel is ridiculous.

I agree with valleyval... This may be an odd question, but does anyone know of a source for towels in that 70's/80's style??? Can be new or not new, I love that style of towel and I use them for everything in my home! I have no idea where to look for more though--mine came from my grandma's house!

Looks like a posh version of what they call a "towel-ket" in Japan, which are meant to be used when you sleep, not when you take a bath.

I love your comments about my product. It has never been called a Ranket. It is a blanQuette a cross between a blanket and the traditional japanese towelkette; so there!
But I love your view of my blanQuettes.
Thank you! I would love to hear more!
Best,

Thank you to Miyuki Mouse who actually gets it. We are a posh version. Did we do a good job?
