Honouring Heritage: Noa Blanket Co.’s Limited Edition 2025 Collection Celebrates Creation and Connection
Noa Blanket Co. is unveiling its highly anticipated Limited Edition Collection for 2025, a deeply meaningful design story rooted in te ao Māori and the sacred creation narratives of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Inspired by Kurawaka, the revered place where the first woman, Hineahuone, was formed from the earth, this collection pays homage to the interconnectedness of all life and the ancestral wisdom that binds us to each other and the land. The collection, titled Kurawaka, features three uniquely designed blankets — Te Hā, Te Awe, and Kauhou — each representing different aspects of creation, transformation, and intergenerational healing.
Each blanket in the Kurawaka collection tells a story of resilience and connection. Te Hā honours the origins of humankind and our connection to nature, while Te Awe symbolizes transformation and the enduring strength of wāhine Māori. Kauhou reflects the power of whakapapa, balance, and identity, drawing on the sacred energy passed down through generations. With each piece designed to evoke memory, celebrate tradition, and ignite a sense of collective responsibility, Noa Blanket Co.’s 2025 collection is a tactile tribute to legacy and wellbeing.
Available exclusively online here, this limited edition collection launches on May 1, 2025, with only a select number of blankets available.
Converse One Star ’95: The Cosmic Comeback
The Converse One Star ’95 is making a bold return, paying homage to its rich cultural legacy while incorporating modern updates. Originally born in 1969 as the Leather All Star, the One Star’s iconic cut-out star quickly became a cultural symbol. Re-launched in 1993, it was embraced by the grunge movement, with Kurt Cobain cementing its status as an anti-fashion statement. By the late ’90s, the shoe had found a new home in skate culture, worn by legends like Guy Mariano. Today, the Converse One Star ’95 brings back that unmistakable look with the timeless attitude it’s known for, making it just as iconic now as it was back then.
With a suede upper and the original ’95 One Star branding, the One Star ’95 blends its vintage roots with modern comfort. Key features include OrthoLite cushioning for enhanced comfort and a roomier fit than the classic model. Available in classic colors, this sneaker effortlessly pairs with any look, whether you’re skating, strolling the streets, or simply embracing its rebellious heritage. More than just a sneaker, the Converse One Star ’95 is a piece of cultural history, ready to make a statement.
