Sue sent in this question, does anyone remember these blankets??

---

"I hope you dont mind me contacting you,but I am trying to find some
information about something I have in my possestion. Its a car blanket which has been in our family for decades and was made by 'Karobes'. It has one side which is a soft, velour type of material which is in leopard style print, and the other side is a traditional blanket style. I have been trying without success to find anything about this blanket, where it was made etc and the only link directed me to your web page.

If you have any information, I would be very grateful."

Karobes were in Leamington Spa and their main product line was seat covers.

Hi,

I've a few NOS Karobes accessories and a couple of their old catalogues with travel rugs shown.

New to the forum, when I find time I'll post a few pics of some of my collection.

Cheers, Andy

Hi Rick,

Here's the cover of a 70's Karobes Catalogue...... I have a 60's somewhere but not sure where it is.

Just found this amongst my pics.

I think it has to be one of my fave accessories and packaging. I dont think it's ever been used.......
