There is no shortage of shawls and blankets to wrap you up this season. Designer Rose Uniacke has created a bespoke shawl to commemorate her reinvention of Victoria Beckham’s flagship store on Dover Street in London this Christmas. Designed exclusively for the fashion house, the golden olive blanket is handwoven from Bactrian camel hair collected by nomadic households on the Mongolian steppe. The cashmere brand with which Oyuna has collaborated British architect John Pawson to release five muted blankets inspired by his work, particularly Lake Crossing at Kew Gardens. And if you’re looking for alpaca and llama wool, look for Life, the first wearable collection from fabric brand Le Cuona. The blankets feature jacquard, fringe and plush bouclé designs, and will look just as striking wrapped around you as they do draped over the couch.
