Co-founders
The official backstory names the two co-founders and describes their early blanket sales in the Ottawa Valley.
Pokoloko's official backstory names Jessie Lyon and Case Bakker and describes early Ottawa Valley sales of blankets made by Bakker's artisan contacts in Ecuador. That history makes international production part of the Canadian business story. Its current towel and blanket ranges should therefore be explored through each item's stated origin.
The Diamond Turkish Towel is a specific example: all Turkish cotton, made in Turkey, with dimensions of about 163 by 99 centimetres before its additional fringe. The blanket collection covers different formats, including bed covers, alpaca families and fleece-lined throws. A towel specification cannot establish their fibres, dimensions or care. Compare the actual item with its intended use and read its own directions; the Diamond towel prefers cold gentle washing and hanging to dry. The official contact route supplies Ontario-store details and appointment-only arrangements for the Gatineau warehouse.
