West Elm Just Created a Lightweight Boho Throw You’ll Be Using All Summer Long (Bonus: It’s on Sale!)

When I find something new that I like, I tend to throw myself into it full force. Lately, the object of my obsession has been anything and everything tie-dye. Maybe it’s just that I’m leaning into my hippie Oregonian roots, or maybe it’s the fact that tie-dye as a trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, but I’ve acquired several new articles of tie-dye clothing and decor in the past several months, and I don’t plan on stopping. 

Right now, I have my eye on West Elm’s new lightweight Tie-Dye Throw, which is the perfect accessory for summer, whether you’re planning a beach getaway, cottagecore picnic in the park, or just taking a lazy afternoon nap. Sure, a throw blanket may not seem like a vacation essential, but I rarely leave home without one. The Tie-Dye throw is made of lightweight, 100 percent cotton, so it folds up easily into a bag or suitcase — I might even take up hiking just to stash this in my backpack for a picnic at one of the Pacific Northwest’s many picturesque viewpoints. 

Handwoven and available in midnight blue and natural beige, West Elm’s throw is a modern take on the classic tie-dye print, with tasseled edges lending a laidback, vintage vibe. While the neutral, boho pattern makes the blanket a stylish backdrop for outdoor adventures, it’s also an eye-catching accent piece for your bed or couch. And if you’re someone who can’t fall asleep without a blanket even during a heatwave, this breezy throw is an ideal option.

No matter what you have planned in the coming months, the Tie-Dye Throw will make a great companion. Just add sunshine and your favorite cocktail, and you’ve got a surefire recipe for the best summer ever.
