There’s no shortage of shawls and blankets to swaddle yourself in this season. Designer Rose Uniacke has created a bespoke shawl to mark her reimagining of the Victoria Beckham Dover Street flagship store in London this Christmas. Designed exclusively for the fashion house, the golden olive throw is handwoven from Bactrian camel hair harvested by nomadic households of the Mongolian steppe. Cashmere brand Oyuna has collaborated with British architect John Pawson to launch five muted blankets inspired by his work, particularly the Lake Crossing in Kew Gardens. And for alpaca and llama wool, look to Life, the debut wearables collection from fabric firm de Le Cuona. The throws feature jacquard designs, fringes and plush bouclé, and will look as striking wrapped around you as draped over the sofa.
