Macklemore: a Northwest Artist with Pendleton Wool
Deep Roots
Macklemore is originally from Seattle, WA. Maybe that’s why his videos use Pendleton wool letting us act as a signifier for the west and the wilderness. We’re glad he hasn’t forgotten his Pacific Northwest roots.
The train seats are upholstered with our Canyonlands fabric, and bring to mind the Portland Express run by AMTRAK last year. The blanket on the camel (okay, so maybe we don’t get that one, either) is one that benefits the American Indian College Fund called the Earth blanket.
The First Cut is the Deepest
These are both great songs, but we’re still partial to his first big hit, which also celebrates a Portland passion; going to the thrift store. We don’t have anything in this one, but hey, don’t you love finding Pendleton when you’re thrifting?
