"The new blanket collection proudly presented by Electric Bowery and Bien Mal is a story of memory made physical for co-founders of Electric Bowery Cayley Lambur and Lucia Bartholomew. A physical documentation of a road trip that ties four cities together, Venice, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, and New York City, the specific terroir of the textures, colors, and personality of these"
"This collaboration feels natural, both Electric Bowery and Bien Mal being women-led and focused on sustainable processes. Each blanket is double knit in either recycled or 100% Egyptian cotton, working to reduce water consumption in the notoriously consumptive textile industry. Beatriz Blank first started Bien Mal when she first moved to the U.S. from Venezuela, searching for a way to bring the joy and spirit from her culture to her new country."
Electric Bowery and Bien Mal created a blanket collection that maps textures, colors, and personalities of Venice, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, and New York City onto double-knit blankets. The collaboration is women-led and uses sustainable processes, with each blanket double knit in recycled or 100% Egyptian cotton to reduce water consumption in the textile industry. Bowery uses recycled cotton and a block motif inspired by Soho glass block sidewalks against a cool grey background. Electric Ave evokes Venice Beach surf with flowing movements and a striped border. HWY 1 references abalone iridescence, Highway 1 curves, wood bark, and layered Big Sur textures. Santa Barbara draws from traditional Spanish tilework. Beatriz Blank founded Bien Mal after moving from Venezuela to bring cultural warmth, and the blankets emphasize the comfort of home as essential to health and happiness.
