When you’re a home decor fanatic like I am, you learn to recognize luxury when you see it. Sometimes, you don’t have to feel a product in your own hands to know that it will be soft, supple and indulgent. Yumi & Laurie’s blanQuettes™ fall into that category. I featured the St. Moritz blanQuette™ a few months ago, and I’ve been coveting one ever since.
The lovely ladies at Yumi & Laurie are offering up a gorgeous Laguna blanQuette™ worth $195 to one lucky reader of Green Your Decor. The Laguna is shown above, and the winner will get to select the color. This is nothing to sneeze at. These throws are gorgeous, to say the least. More importantly, they are green:
- Made of 50% Organic Cotton and 50% Bamboo
- Yumi & Laurie textiles are antimicrobial
- As a company, Yumi & Laurie is committed to using only environmentally safe sustainable and materials and has taken a proactive stance on preserving the Earth
So here’s how you enter. Simply visit Yumi & Laurie, then come back here and leave a comment about one thing you liked or learned by 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, November 7, 2008. It can be your favorite product, or even some fact about the company. In your comment, let me know what color you’d like if you won.

I really like the blanQuettes, and the Furano is pretty awesome! I love the navy Laguna, too!
The Y&L blanQuette™ is a lightweight blanket that looks like an oversized plush turkish towel. Richly sophisticated in color and design, the blanQuette™ is made from the highest quality 100% certified organic cotton and bamboo fibers available. The Navy Laguna is my pick too!
I love the Yumi & Laurie blanQuettes! They are so gorgeous and I really appreciate that they use organic and sustainable materials. Here is a great fact: the company’s Founder, Laurie Suzuki, is a Mother of two children. If I win, I’d love the fuchia!
These blanQuettes look great! Fun fact from the website: Yumi & Laurie also has a spa line! I’d like to win the purple blanQuette if I am lucky enough to win
What a cool site & product. I had not heard of these before, but the blanQuettes are beautiful and what a bonus that they are organic. I found it interesting how Ms. Suzuki was inspired by her travels to create an eco-friendly product.
My favorite is the St. Moritz in Persimmon .. beautiful!
The Y & L blanquette is true fashion and function at its finest. I love that is it antimicrobial and machine washable; a huge plus in our family. I love the Furano in Mocha/Sand. It feels like you are wrapped up in chocolate!
My favorite is the St. Moritz in persimmon. I mean, wow! If I won I’d choose Laguna in sky blue.
I love that the blanQuette is made of 100% Certified organic and sustainable materials. So great that you can wash it at home! And the blue would look amazing in my living room.
I love the design of the Furano line of blanQuette-very pretty designs!
Loved the Milan blanquette! In butterscotch!!!! Looks yummy and snuggly!!!
Sky blue would be my choice. I like in sky color the St. Moritz Collection blanket. Very warm and cuddly looking. Thanks for the giveaway.

I really like the Furano style in Mocha/Sand Chocolate Brown. I love that the material is part organic and is also antimicrobial, excellent.
These look great. The navy would be a good neutral color to have.

The company uses 100% certified organic and sustainable materials. Such an important and responsible attribute in these hazardous environmental times. I also like that their products can be used in all seasons and are machine washable. What more could one ask for that a naturally soft blanQuette?! Please enter my name in your drawing.

I love the Furano in Sand/Sandstone/Aegean. These throws are gorgeous and I love that they are made from 100% organic, sustainable materials.
My favorite product from the website is the Furano Collection blanQuette. The mocha/sand chocolate brown color would go great in our asian themed living room! I would pick the navy color if I won, because that way my boyfriend could use it without feeling too girly in the fuschia or purple! lol.
Mocha furano….. OOOOOOH……. These are SUCH a luxury!!! I would almost feel GUILTY if I won!!!! (But, I’d ACCEPT, of course)!!!! Thanks for the chance to win, and for an AMAZING giveaway!

I learned that organic farmers use natural composting, crop rotation, beneficial insects and predators instead of these synthetic fertilizers to intelligently grow crops that are better for you and the earth. That really makes me feel good about the products. I like the sky blue!
Reginas last blog post..I Heart Photobooks, too
Ouuu! I LOVE the Nevis blanQuettes! I was also unaware as to why Bamboo claims to be antimicrobial- so interesting about the natural matrix of the fibers AND how they naturally wick moisture away! Bamboo yoga clothes HERE I COME

I am in love with these wonderful organic blankets. I have server allergies and can’t sleep with anything but orgainc. I learned that they are antimicrobial that would give me a great nights sleep. I love either the mocha Furgno or the sky St. Moritz ….Thanks
I am having my morning coffee, imagining being wrapped up in a luxurious purple (certified organic) blanQuette, as the cool morning is a reminder that soon our yards will be a blanket of snow. That blanQuette sounds even better now, doesnt it? And did you know blanQuettes are antimicrobial and are perfect for those of us with allergies?
Blanquettes are the most beautiful organic blankets/throws I have ever seen. Organic does not have to be dull!
i really do like this concept of antimicrobial fabrics, and would love to have a purple blankie — thanks for offering this contest!!
The fushia blanket in the laguna collection is gorgeous and would be wonderful for my 6 year old who has asthma.
I like the fact that it breathes easily and can be used in all seasons.
I like the texture in the Milan blankets. I’d love a navy blue blanket.
Condo Bluess last blog post..Halloween Porch Décor: Make a Witches Parking Sign
As I continue to get more invoolved in the sustainability movement, I discover great products. The blanquettes, made from 50% Organic Cotton and 50% Bamboo, are a great find. More and more revolutionary products are coming out and one of my favorites is the St. Moritz Persimmon.
My favorite item at Y&L is the Milan in Mocha. If I won a Laguna blanQuette, I would probably pick the navy blue.
I like that it is made of 50% Organic Cotton 50% Bamboo. And that its dimensions are pretty big.
Jessicas last blog post..Anthony Barkate
Oh, I love how the St. Moritz pattern… so pretty, especially in the persimmon. If I win though, I’ll take the sky blue, so pretty! I hope I do win!
I would love one in navy. I didn’t realize how great organic was for people with allergies.
I learned that your products re antimicrobial and are great for people with allergies. I have allergies so this would be a great product for me. My favorite one would have to be the Milan in Mocha.
I especially like the Mocha Milan blanQuette. If I won I would choose the navy. Thanks so much!

I love that it’s a blanket that looks like an oversized plush turkish towel.
Bamboo is naturally antimicrobial. Bamboo is great for your skin as it wicks moisture away. A cross section of Bamboo fiber is a matrix with many microscopic gaps. Bamboo fiber breathes thereby keeping you cooler, drier and more comfortable.

Keyomis last blog post..Rainy Day and a new giveaway!
Thank you Jennae for being a such a great fan of Yumi & Laurie from the beginning and thank you everyone for your wonderful comments about our blanQuettes. It really means so much to me. I can guarantee that the winner of this giveaway (and whomever else who ends up owning a blanQuette™) will wonder how they ever lived without it…my family uses ours on a daily basis. We can’t even watch a movie, nap, or lounge on the couch anymore without one! Enjoy.” As a mother of two and an entrepeneur; it is worth the journey to start a company that you are passionate about. Follow your dreams and passions; your instincts will not let you down.
Best, Laurie Suzuki founder, Yumi & Laurie Inc.

I like the the Milan blanquette
This is my first time hearing about this product. I was very curious esp with the bamboo content. My visions of bamboo does not lead to thoughts of soft subtleness. When I read that bamboo fiber breathes therefore keeping you cooler and drier, it really peaked my interest. I love all the designs but my favorite is the Sand Palm tree hunter Furano.
I like the Mocha/Sand Chocolate Brown Blanquette from the Furano Collection. So luxurious looking.
They are all beautiful, but I especially love the Furano – Mocha/Sand! This is a wonderful contest!
You’re right–they look plush even in a picture! I learned that they are washable, anti-microbial, and made of renewable resources (actually got that from you too, but it is on the site!). Would like Sky Blue please if I am lucky enough to win.
I love that each collection of the blanQuettes feature uniquely different patterns and colors–each one is beautiful and will suit a variety of tastes. It’s also wonderful that the blanQuettes are antimicrobial for those of us who suffer from allergies.
I would love the Laguna blanQuette in purple, as that color is feminine enough to keep my husband from taking it from me!!
Thanks,
kkmom08(AT)gmail(DOT)com
I liked the Laguna Collection navy blanQuette
I’ve not heard of blanQuette before – thanks for featuring it. I think my favorite, aside from the Laguna you’re giving away, would be the Milan. I like them both because they’re subtle and elegant. If I’m lucky enough to win, I’d like the Laguna in purple. Thanks for the chance to win.
These are the coolest blankets – I like that they are antimicrobial. I love the Persimmon color of the St Moritz, but the Purple Laguna is just as great. Thanks.
What I learned about the company was that their products are made from 100% Certified organic and sustainable materials. This is a big plus for me…and they are absolutely beautiful. If I should win, I would love the blanQuette in navy.
I love the Milan Blankets in Navy.

I have been very ill for over 10 years now so it is very important for me to eat organic and have organic items in my home. I believe that what you put in and on your body reflect how your body works. I had no idea that what we know as “simple” cotton production can lead to poisoning to the soil which leads to health problems in the farmers and the people who use the products. After hearing this piece of information, I will always look for Organic Cotton. I can not afford to get any sicker. I simply was not aware that cotton that was not grown organic could possibly make me sick as a consumer. Additionally, just to know that a farmer trying to make a living for his family growing cotton is taking extra precautions so everyone is safe, I will spend the extra money to purchase these organic products. To me, this is a no brainier. This is the single best piece of information I have gathered this month! I spent some time looking through all the products; each is prettier than the last. I would love to win any of the items, but I especially liked the Furano and Nevis Collections. Thank you for providing this extremely important information to me Y & L, it is truly appreciated.
Nevis in Ducty Mauve Chocolate Brown
the fact they are antimicrobial.
Good for founder Laurie Suzuki. What beautiful blankets. I hope I win!!
Yumi & Laurie was found by Laurie Suzuki. I see where she gets the Laurie part, but the Yumi remains a mystery to me. I’d love to win this in purple. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.

These are so beautiful! I learned about the benefits of using organic cotton and bamboo. I bet these feel amazing!

Also antimicrobial for allergic folks.
The blanQuette™ dimensions are 6’6” by 4’9”. I love these! I wonder if Oprah knows about them yet…lol I would love one in NAVY. I started composting this year and I have become very contiencious about what I can do to help. This is great!
Jodis last blog post..Introducing another CT member!
Ooooo…pretty! I love the Milan collection in Mocha.
I didn’t realize that bamboo was naturally antimicrobial, and therefore, very good for those with allergies. Such gorgeous colors and designs!……I love all of them!
I like the “all season” blanket
I like the fact that they are antimicrobial, our family suffers from allergies.
I like the St. Moritz Persimmon blanket.
I like Furano. And I’d like to win purple color.
I love the Fucia Laguna, very pretty.
machine washable, perfect
I didn’t realize that even the soil and water had to be tested for organic certification.
Milan Blankets in Navyare great
i love that they use organic and sustainable materials. i especially like the purple one
They are great for people with allergies (me).
They are all gorgeous!! Sometimes I wonder how people get so talented!
The Butterscotch Blanquette from the Milan collection is awesome!!
If I were lucky enough to win a beautiful BlanQuette I would choose the fuchsia color.
I was thrilled to learn that the blanQuettes “are antimicrobial and make for a wonderful night’s rest for those with allergies.” Since I have allergies, I delighted to learn about blanQuettes!
The Nevis BlanQuette in sand Midnite would compliment my decor. I’m adding that to my wishlist. Mrs. Suzuki is right about the demand for organic products these days. I’m glad she’s using her talents to help the envirnoment in the upmost stylish way for us consumers.
I love that Yumi & Laurie textiles are antimicrobial and organic; we have pretty bad allergies here and I think they would be wonderful. I’d love to win the sky blue, how gorgeous! Thank you!
I really like the Nevi Celery Ski. It looks to me how comfy it would be to curl upon the couch and read a good book.
I love the Milan Mocha
My fav is the Laguna BlanQuette in Navy, WOW! I could just “feel” how soft and cozy these blanQuettes are. And, they’re machine washable! How great is that?! I also love that they are antimicrobial, so even the allergy-sufferers will enjoy them. Great giveaway!
The olive Milan is scrumptious, as is the mocha/sand chocolate brown Furano. Can’t wait to tell my daughters that it’s 50% bamboo! They won’t believe it, especially if it’s as soft as a Turkish towel… nice!
I adore the navy blue Laguna–it’ll look right nice in my daughter’s smoky gray blue and yellow room…

Yumi and Laurie you rock. What I learned are there are people like you that care about our earth and our enviroment. This is important to all of us and our future generations. I love your blanquettes, and would love the sky blue one. Thanks for caring about our wonderful earth. I do too.
I liked the Nevis Blanquette in Spa White Navy color. Thanks for the contest!
I found out that the company was founded by Ms. Laurie Suzuki and I love that it certified orangic material. I love the blanQuette in purple.
Thanks!
I learned that the blanquettes are antimicrobial. Never thought of bedding offering that advantage. I have heard of hypoallergenic advantages and support for allergy sufferers, but I think this takes it to another level. Love the Milan line. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh they look so luxuriously soft. I want a blankie!!! I really like the Furano in Plum/Goldenrod/Persimmon other than the blankie you are showing. I would be so blessed to win.
I love the fact that Yumi and Laurie are so environmentally conscious. The fact that everything is made from organic materials and environmental techniques speaks volumes for them. To me they are a Perfect fit in a Greener world.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful contest.
i would LOVE to win !!
St. Moritz Aegaen for me, please!
I love the purple one. Gorgeous. I love the generous size of these, perfect for wrapping up in. I just discovered bamboo fabrics last year and I am hooked.

my other favorite product is the Mocha/Sand Chocolate Brown Furano blanket. My favorite Blanquette color is the sky blue.
The laguna is my favorite. I have a thing for paisley.
They have a spa line where they will custom make linens for your spa. That would be such a great way to set your self apart from other spas.

I learned that for an item to be “Certified Organic,” its fiber must be grown in accordance with strict, uniform standards that are verified by independent state or private organizations. Certification includes inspections of farm fields and processing facilities, detailed record keeping, and periodic testing of soil and water to ensure that growers and handlers are meeting the standards which have been set.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I love the St. Mortiz and the Laguna they look so soft. My favorite colors have to be Persimmion and sky blue, it would make you feel like you are floating on a cloud. I also love how big they are, a perfect size to cuddle with my daughter and a good book. Thanks
I learned that they use only 100% organic materials.
I never knew that cotton farms were so harmful due to the all the chemicals. I always assumed that cotton was automatically grown organically.
I love these blanquettes and would want the navy blue if I was to win.

I really like the St. Moritz, really beautiful. Bamboo is a sustainable material because of it’s high rate of growth and reforestation. Bamboo fibers are biodegradable.
