Hot on the Highstreet Week 243

Posted on by

As London approaches the coldest week of winter I have selected my five favourite cashmere blankets to snuggle up and keep cosy.

Urbanara – Uyuni Cashmere Blanket £199

The Uyuni Cashmere Blanket is one of the finest cashmere blankets from the large Urbanara collection. Beautifully soft to the touch, this luxurious fibre is sourced from cashmere goats in Inner Mongolia, where the supplier carefully monitors the production process from start to finish, ensuring only the highest quality material for the Uyuni. The blanket displays an intricate, two-toned diamond motif with a delicate ‘eyelash’ fringe along the width to complete its look. Available in 140 x 200 cm, with a choice of three colours.

White Company – Cashmere Rib Collection £400

This blanket is from the incredibly luxurious featherweight-cashmere collection. Whisper-soft against your skin, it features a stunning all-over ribbed texture and is gorgeously finished with a deep, double-knit border. Presented in a suitably beautiful white box, it also makes a wonderful gift to treasure. The double-sided, ribbed cushion cover with a lovely plain-knit envelope closure finishes the look perfectly.

Johnsons of Elgins – Cashmere Reversible Throw £450

The ultimate luxury blanket from the Cashmere kings, Johnsons of Elgins. This versatile blanket is reversible to give a bright (Sky blue) and light (Ecru) appearance, depending on your mood. 190 x 140 cm, it is currently reduced in the new year sale.

Brora – Cashmere Woven Blanket £499

The ultimate and undisputed mark of luxury, to label this blanket as soft simply doesn’t do it justice! In deliciously new, bright Brora blends there is a shade to suit everyone, I love the tangy Pumpkin colour. This piece is an investment you won’t regret, a beautiful woven blanket made from the finest Scottish cashmere.

Burberry – Cashmere Check Blanket £995

This soft cashmere blanket has a sophisticated tonal check pattern and fringing at both ends. From the designer British brand it is as indulgent as you can get and will last you a lifetime.

There is something instantly comforting about The White Company and these Cosy Slippers are no exception. The faux fur lining is particularly insulating and they are blissfully soft for padding around the house in… £21 buy here.
