Johanna Howard Home was founded by Swedish-born designer Johanna Howard, who grew up in her mother's atelier in Sweden and later worked as a clothing designer in Los Angeles and New York. The brand is known for luxury alpaca throws and pillows with a Scandinavian design sensibility, and the range extends into table linens, napkins, placemats, tea towels, scarves, candles and upcycled dresses.
Pieces are made with artisan weavers in Peru and Portugal under fair-trade practices, and the brand self-identifies on its site as Black-Owned, Fair Trade, Cruelty Free, Sustainably Produced, Artisan Made and Designer Led. Typical product pricing runs roughly two hundred twenty to six hundred dollars, which places it with the kind of textiles people keep for years rather than replace each season. The studio is at 15 Gardiner Place in Montclair, New Jersey, and the site is currently selling with a free-shipping promotion.
For a throw that will outlast the trend that prompted it, or table linens made by weavers who were paid properly, this is a small brand with its sourcing stated plainly. Browse the collection or get in touch through the site.
