Description

Give your bedroom a fresh point of view with the Mungo Vrou-Vrou Blanket in Cypress. Pronounced roughly “Frou-Frou,” this South African-designed queen blanket combines bold checks, dimensional texture and breathable 100% cotton in a composition that changes every time it is folded.

Key Features

  • The distinctive Cypress colourway: A fresh alternative within the Vrou-Vrou collection for Canadian bedrooms in need of colour, depth and contemporary textile design.
  • A new composition with every fold: Enlarged checks and intersecting areas of colour allow different patterns to emerge depending on how the blanket is draped.
  • Heritage pattern with a modern attitude: Historic Harris Tweed checks and dimensional waffle weaving are reworked into a bold, graphic South African textile.
  • Breathable, year-round cotton comfort: Woven from 100% cotton, it is substantial enough for winter layering yet soft and breathable enough for warmer nights.
  • A memorable gift from South Africa: A design-forward wedding, anniversary or housewarming gift for textile collectors, colour lovers, globally minded decorators and South Africans living in Canada.
Design Story

Vrou-Vrou—pronounced roughly “Frou-Frou,” with its name rooted in Afrikaans—is not a blanket that reveals everything at first glance. The Cypress colourway has a chameleon-like quality: unfold it, drape it differently or turn back one corner, and new intersections of colour, pattern and texture come into view. It is an expressive textile made to evolve with your room rather than sit quietly in the background.

Its design brings together two historic textile traditions found within Mungo’s pattern archive: the graphic checks associated with Harris Tweed and the dimensional surface of classic waffle weaving. By enlarging the plaid structure and playing with intersecting colour, Mungo has turned familiar heritage references into a contemporary queen-size blanket that feels graphic, playful and entirely its own.

Designed, woven and made at the Mungo Mill in South Africa, the Vrou-Vrou Cypress Blanket is crafted from soft, breathable 100% cotton for year-round use in Canadian homes. It offers a comforting layer through winter and a lighter cover during warmer months. Mungo also contributes 1% of its annual turnover to MOVE, an initiative that supports and empowers the Plettenberg Bay community.
