This Faux Fur Blanket Will Make You an Outdoors Person (It’s “Shark Tank”–Approved!)
I consider myself somewhat of a sleep sommelier, a connoisseur of cozy. For me and my 14-year-old Calico Phoebe, cat naps are part of our daily routine, so we can never have too many blankets around. Between air-conditioned afternoons and chilly fall nights, I figured I’d pretty much seen (and enjoyed) it all when it came to blankets. Then I discovered Pretty Rugged.
After many damp nights spent on Lake George with her family, Pretty Rugged founder Tracy Slocum found herself looking for a solution that didn’t yet exist: something that would actually keep her feeling warm and fashionable out on the water. So she created the perfect windproof, waterproof, and washable blanket — and in 2022, she got a deal on Shark Tank! Now, Apartment Therapy has teamed up with Pretty Rugged to create the City Mink Long Lap Blanket: a sleek, ultra-soft faux fur blanket in a brand-new colorway, perfect for all aspects of city living.
As a New Yorker who grew up on a lake in New England, I was eager to get my hands on the City Mink Long Lap Blanket. I was thrilled to discover just how soft and smooth it is; pretty much everything just rolls right off of it. The City Mink Long Lap Blanket is lined with SatinTex™ technology, a first-of-its-kind waterproof material developed by Pretty Rugged. That silky smooth backing keeps me clean and dry, while the luxurious faux-fur side keeps me nice and warm.
Perfect for cozying up on park benches and windy city rooftops, I’m all the more comfortable knowing I won’t be dragging city grime back inside with me. And even if I did, this blanket is machine washable and dryable. Easy clean-up makes it perfect for pets, too; especially with a cat who loves to hack up a hairball on every plush surface she can find. The peace of mind knowing this blanket can handle the elements is so worth the investment. I plan to order more for my family, too; Pretty Rugged even offers embroidery to personalize your blanket, your bag, or both.
I look forward to many more adventures with my City Mink Long Lap Blanket: Its sleek satin bag and handy shoulder strap make it easy to take on the go. It’s the perfect size for keeping me covered and cozy, but still rolls up into a manageable bundle for transport. Our custom City Mink Long Lap Blanket is only around for a limited time, so grab one for yourself and stay warm this winter, wherever it may take you.
