Hippie Van Dog Blanket for Dachshund Fans

Hippie Van Dog Blanket shows a red camper van packed with dachshunds in tinted glasses, and the printed line about dog hair and glitter says what every dachshund owner already knows. Using it wraps you in that joke every evening, and it is made for anyone whose home is full of sausage dogs.

Note: the pillow shown in the photo are for styling only and not included.

Artwork and lettering

The center of the throw is a red camper van, its windows crowded with dachshunds peeking out in shades of black, tan and chocolate. Two dogs stand on the roof, and the rest sit in the open windows, each one wearing little tinted glasses. A green paw print sits on the grille, flanked by two peace signs in yellow and black, with daisies and small bones scattered across the body of the van.

The lettering runs down a dark side panel: “IT’S NOT DOG HAIR IT’S DACHSHUND GLITTER,” set in small cream capitals. On the bottom border, a bold white “LOVE” sits beside a heart containing a dachshund silhouette. The rest of the frame is a patchwork of dachshund silhouettes, paw prints, bones and orange and yellow floral patterns, all in a lively retro palette.

The style pulls together the 1960s road-trip feel of the van with the playful, everyday charm of a dog-filled home. Every panel shows a different dachshund detail, so there is always something new to find.

Made for this crowd

Dachshund owners will notice the breed at once: the long bodies, the floppy ears and the cheeky stances. The dog hair line is written for them, and it will get a knowing smile from anyone who has ever found fur on their clothes.

Use this throw on the sofa while you watch a movie with your dog curled up next to you. It also works on a camping trip, draped over a car seat, or spread on a porch swing when the weather turns warm.

Moments it suits

This blanket makes a thoughtful gift for a dachshund owner's birthday, a housewarming, or a wedding shower for a couple with a sausage dog. It also suits a holiday swap or a just-because present for a friend who never stops talking about their dog.

Try it on a lazy Sunday with a cup of coffee, or fold it over your knees during a long road trip. Available in the Fleece Throw Blanket, Sherpa Throw Blanket, Fleece Blanket and Sherpa Blanket styles.
