Kraff`s Clothing has been a fixture in historical downtown Toppenish, WA, since the 1940's. Originally a clothing store for men and women, it was owned and operated by Sol & Clara Kraff who came West from Chicago. Kraff`s was purchased by its present owners, Dan & Margie Johnson, in 1970, after Mr. Kraff passed away. Since being purchased by the Johnsons, Kraff`s has undergone many changes. Located on the Yakama Indian Reservation, Kraff`s had always stocked a small selection of Indian blankets commonly used by the Yakama`s and other tribes for many religious ceremonies and for gift giving. Brands such as Pendleton and Hudson Bay could be found in the store. These colorful blankets hung on the walls high above tailored brands of clothing such as Christian Dior, Hart, Shaffner & Marx, and Ralph Lauren-all of which are still available today. The contrasting merchandise was similar to the dichotomy of cultures that is present in the Yakama Valley. The Indian blankets were a mainstay in the inventory at Kraff`;s, and as more customers requested more blankets the selection continued to get larger. Our experience with Pendleton Indian Blankets and Native American Clothing. We understand that price is very important to many people in Indian Country. There are many celebrations and events that are very significant among many tribes and pueblos all over the United States. Often times there are "giveaways", which to Native Americans means that you give away something that is of value, and you share it with someone else. This gives honor to the recipient. In older generations, gifts such as buckskins, woven baskets, Pendleton Indian blankets or beaded jewelry were given at giveaways. Many of the same gifts are still given today with the addition of more practical items such as handbags or t-shirts.
