Our Harding Shale Pendleton Pillow Sham is made in America with a story dating back nearly a century. In 1923, President Warren Harding and his wife came west to dedicate a portion of the old Oregon Trail. At the ceremony, local Cayuse and Umatilla chiefs presented the first lady with a Pendleton shawl inspired by our famous Chief Joseph blanket. This dynamic design was an instant hit and remains in production today, still woven in our Northwest mills.
