Hudson’s Bay Company HBC Stripes 6 Point Blanket

Oshki Wupoowane Charcoal 6 Point Blanket New with Tags The most famously recognizable blanket in the world. The HBC Point Blanket has been called many things throughout its history: an essential trade item, an enduring emblem of Canada, and a symbol of colonialism. We begin to acknowledge the many layers of symbolism the blanket embodies in history, art, pop culture, and commerce. A light grey blanket was originally produced under contract for the army during WW1. The colour was added to the standard colours not long afterward. A darker version was reintroduced in 2000 as one of two new designs launched to mark the new millennium.
