TCH: 10 cozy blankets for sad weather
Pro warm checkered plaid everyone joked it off another five years ago - here we were ahead of America, where the terrible curse of basic bitch had just now spread. However, in the rainy spring evenings I want only one thing - shove my sarcasm far away, and myself - it’s warmer. No, we certainly do not call for arming with a cup of fragrant cocoa and a volume of Paulo Coelho, but we confess that "Game of Thrones" in this situation is also a great success. For everyone who is tired of IKEA fleece blankets, our cozy selection.
Jean Paul Gaultier
Honestly, from Jean-Paul Gautier we waited for something more daring - for desperate housewives. Nevertheless, we recognize that we are fascinated by the combination of burgundy and turquoise, as well as one hundred percent wool. As they say in the annotation, this beautiful blanket perfectly refreshes your sofa or bed and can be a fantastic gift for any occasion. We want to refresh and gift immediately.

Zara home
The "home" division of the Spanish mass brand has recently opened an online store that delivers all over Russia - is this not a good reason to choose two blankets from their assortment at once? The first is a more accessible variation of the theme used by Gauthier: bright and contrasting shades here are combined in the similarity of a gradient. When folded, the plaid casts thoughts about the ombre of Jared Leto, and when unfolded it is about the mashup of Lana Del Rey and The Smiths.

Zara home
In contrast to the sadistic way of harvesting angora from the wool of the Angora rabbits, mohair is made much more humanely and from the wool of the Angora goat. Therefore, we fully endorse the warm, fluffy plaid of Spanish origin with wide cages of pastel colors.

Hay
Dane Rolf Hay launched his eponymous brand in 2003 - when interest in Scandinavian design went to a new round. He makes and concise dining tables for a large family, and the goods for one like a notebook and pen. Under the blanket Plus 9 with a print resembling an Aztec one, you don’t really fit in with the nine men, but the two of them are fully allowed by the size of two and a half meters.

Verpan
The legendary Danish designer Werner Panton is known without knowing it, almost everything - he came up with the famous plastic chair from the 60s in the shape of the letter S. A plaid with a Mirror Throws print of his own authorship is dated 1969, but this copy is, of course, new it is produced by Verpan, a company specializing in iconic objects invented by Panton. Agree, it's nice to buy a blanket with such a story, especially merino wool.

Barneys
At the sight of this cashmere rug, eyes cling to the forehead with double force: first, because of its bright yellow color, and second, because of the price. For a thousand dollars you get a hand-made, warm, but light blanket. Small in size - 160x200, so it is most convenient to wrap it alone. The plaid is also two-sided: when you get tired of the bright lemon side, you can turn it over to the quiet side - ivory.
$995
Pehuen
Strongly aristocratic plaid: square, made of selected 100% wool, with rabbit fur inserts and long tassels. Only a child (or Tirion Lannister), a so modest blanket in size, can only wrap itself in it. Theoretically, we would gladly have bought one to throw him on his feet, sitting thoughtfully in an antique chair by the fireplace. Practically - you need to find a more compelling reason to roll off your monthly salary for this wool square. On the other hand, it can be used as a source of inspiration and construct something similar on your own.

Designers guild
Designers Guild is a family owned British company with more than 40 years of history, which specializes in home textiles. This blanket at the same time can be used as a blanket, and, if necessary, wrap into it, dozing off on the couch. Due to the competent composition - 50% of sheep wool and the same amount of cotton - the product will perfectly cope with both functions: it will warm like a blanket and will not rub as a blanket, even if you sit on it without getting up for a month.

Missoni home
The Italian fashion house Missoni has a very rich line of home goods - starting with hammocks and towels with branded prints and ending with plates and candles. This plaid attracted us not so much for the quality as for the fun colors. In the end, a pixel bedspread will definitely come in handy on the farm if there is at least one boom among your households.

Ferm living
Gloomy, graphic, with the effect of optical illusion - this blanket immediately makes an impression. A drawing reminds us of the roofs of skyscrapers from a bird's eye view and a little more post-punk. Originally from Denmark, the plaid is woven from 100% organic cotton and with careful handling will obviously last for ages. The main thing is that in order to enjoy the purchase and the print itself should not be in the eyes, or you can pour the red blanket dry on the first evening and say goodbye to him forever.
