Wrap Up: Eight Handsome Blankets To Hibernate Under This Cosy Season

Words by Ms Fedora Abu

26 October 2022

MR PORTER might be best known as the foremost purveyor of luxury menswear, but we like to think ourselves as so much more than that. As it happens, alongside our sweaters, sneakers, belts and bags, we also boast a knockout selection of homeware, so your surroundings can be as stylishly kitted out as you are.

While we could run you through the gamut of treasures to be discovered under our Homeware tab of the menu above, given the plummeting temperatures we thought it best to focus our attention on the best throws and blankets in mohair, alpaca, cashmere and more that are perfect for swaddling yourself in this cosy season. Whether you’re a Brunello Cucinelli minimalist, a BODE maximalist or somewhere in between, this exceedingly snug edit should have you covered.

01.

The Elder Statesman’s Jolly cashmere blanket

With its highlighter-bright hues and unimpeachably sunny outlook, California-based brand The Elder Statesman is often a go-to for those in need of a bit of sartorial serotonin. But in case you hadn’t heard, it’s also determined to dress our homes in an equally cheerful manner, as evidenced by this jolly (it’s actually called Jolly) striped blanket in their signature cashmere.

02.

The American heritage Pendleton beach blanket

American heritage brand Pendleton has been making its signature blankets for over a century – which is to say it’s really rather good at it. Case in point: this Agate jacquard throw, which pairs a deliciously soft virgin wool-blend from its own mills with a geometric motif that nods to the brand’s Oregon roots.

03.

The autumnal Acne Studios knitted blanket

If you can think of nothing more delightful than wrapping yourself in a cloak of alpaca, wool and mohair now that the chill has set in, then you’ll be delighted to discover that Acne Studios has answered your prayers. Behold its logo-appliqued Vally blanket, which is spun from a wonderful blend of all the above and arrives in an appropriately autumnal palette.

04.

The fringed Missoni Home throw

Brightly patterned knitwear is Missoni’s bread and butter, so it makes perfect sense that its homeware line should follow suit. Our pick is this fringed crochet-knit Aida blanket, which, with its intricate fil coupé design and rainbow patches, needn’t even bear the brand’s label.

05.

The crochet-knit BODE throw

If you’re a devoted subscriber to the school of Ms Emily Bode, then you’ll be well aware her cult namesake brand is all about handcrafted, upcycled wares that ooze vintage heirloom charm. What you might not know, however, is that now your sofa-slash-bed can be as well-turned as Messrs Harry Styles, Donald Glover, Ryan Reynolds and all the other A-list BODE believers by way of this multicoloured crochet creation.

06.

The colour-block cashmere R+D.LAB blanket

Spare, contemporary design meets thoughtful Italian craftsmanship in the form of R+D.LAB, a Milan-based homeware label founded in 2006. Top of our Wish List? This colour blocked Citta blanket, which is spun from a melange of virgin wool and a sprinkling of cashmere that we’re utterly desperate to dive into.

07.

The two-tone, all-cashmere Brunello Cucinelli throw

Whether in its stealth-wealth menswear or its pared-back homeware, if there’s one thing that Brunello Cucinelli brand doesn’t compromise on, it’s fabric. Take this two-tone striped and fringed throw in the label’s signature soft neutral hues, which has been fashioned from the finest, most sumptuous cashmere – and nothing more.

08.

The LOEWE multi-coloured mohair blanket

To be completely honest with you, we’d snap up pretty much anything bearing the now iconic LOEWE anagram. Thankfully, as with all the brand’s wares, this Spanish-made mohair-blend blanket is a knockout in its own right, by way of its vivid contrast stripes that are sure to lift the spirits.

The great cover-up
