Why do we love In2Green Coastal Throws?

Oh my… let me count the ways!

  1.  Creative, Innovative design is knit into each one of these thick, rich throw blankets.  Seriously, the patterns and designs created by the team at In2Green every season is unique to them, and never the same “tired” look of seashells, starfish and palm trees.  Which we are incredibly grateful for. 


 We have worked with the team at In2Green for almost four years and every season they come up with something even more fun, color-drenched and always with a luxury touch.


       My new favorite design for this spring is their Nautilus Swirled Throw collection. Fab coastal colors and the large knit nautilus shell images make these really fun!


Have a BIG Crush on the new Sea Turtle Throws too!


     2. Each one of these throws is hand crafted in America.  Lori, Jill and Stephanie have worked tirelessly with small family textile mills to make products that are simply outstanding.  Plus, the yarn is eco-friendly! 75% recycled washed cotton and 25% polyester, which adds to the soft, warm cozy feel. 


      3.  Believe me when I say that we look at, touch and wrap up in a lot of different textiles when we are shopping for our website. There is nothing quite like the feel of these throws!  Maybe because of the unique knitting process? Attention to detail?  These super-soft throws are generously sized and are thicker with an extra rich touch –  more than most other knit throw blankets on the market.


     4.  Many of their throws have reversible designs –  two great looks for the price of one!  What an easy way to switch out color and pattern with changing seasons.


    5. The new Indoor-Outdoor collection, created specifically for a lifestyle beside the sea!
       Every inch is made domestically with 100%recycled plastic (aka polyester). This new line of
Throws is UV resistant and quick to dry, making them perfect for boating and picnicking at the beach. 

Besides, what a beautiful way to help save our coastlines – 78 recycled plastic bottles = 1 gorgeous throw!

  6. These coastal throw blankets are Super practical!  Although they are fine knit, all are easy care. Just throw in the washing machine on the gentle cycle and dry on low.  More than important to a coastal lifestyle - lots of sandy and salty fun requires durability and wash-ability! 

                                    Sailing Away Throw - Great Nautical Color!

(P.S. Did I mention that they are beach girls too?  - Lobster Throw)
 Our customers have loved these knit throws, and we are excited to show off all of the new designs, textures and colors.  Adding throws to your coastal room, will give it an extra layer of richness, warmth and color without having to change the entire look of your space.

Our Aruba Blue Striped Rug is Featured In Coastal Living!

So excited to see colorful fun Newport Bay Aruba Striped rug on the front cover!

I grabbed a Coastal Living March 2016 issue at the airport in San Francisco before jumping on the plane to Maui this past week and was thrilled to see our Surya Newport Bay rug featured in the "Color Crush" article and on the front cover, photographed by David Tsay (one of my faves) and styled by Lindsey Ellis Beatty (also one of my fave magazine stylists!)

Hope you all have a chance to check out the delightful, beachy mix of turquoise, coral and yellows  - always a hot coastal color combo for us!

Get the Look!



Here's the way-cool Aruba rug - love the versatility! Wide turquoise blue and cream stripes on one side, and coordinating skinny stripes on the reverse.  Two rugs for the price of one!




and just for fun - how about adding a little whimsy with starfish shaped pillows?
Love these!



Or maybe an Ikat pattern?


Don't forget to add a touch of natural sea grass - just add baskets! 

I might even add a throw across the chair or across the settee - we love the modern, yet tropical pattern of these super soft Beach Blue throws!



Don't get me started - we have so many ideas to use this color combination to create a warm inviting space at your home!

Don't forget to see Pages 33 and 34 in the "Color Crush" article for more ideas and details!


Thanks to Surya, Coastal Living Magazine and Lindsey Ellis Beatty for choosing us to be part of this fun article!
