Questions about this collection

What is the Armenian alphabet?

Created by Mesrop Mashtots around 405 AD, the Armenian alphabet was designed to give Armenians their own script for translating the Bible and preserving their language. It originally had 36 letters, two more were added later, and it has remained largely unchanged for over 1,600 years.

Can these pieces be personalized with an Armenian name?

Yes. Most designs in this collection can be personalized with the name, initial or word of your choice. Enter exactly the text you want used, since it is applied as written.

Is the alphabet woven into the fabric or printed on it?

Construction depends on the item: the woven cotton blankets in this collection have the design woven directly into the cloth, while the pillow covers are printed on polyester fabric. Each product page states its exact construction and material.

What sizes are available?

Sizes vary by product type — woven blankets come in three sizes, pillow covers in a range of sizes, and mugs in two sizes. Each product page lists the exact options for that item.

How should these pieces be cared for?
