Luxury blankets – expensive or what!

Luxury Cashmere blankets have to be one of the finest ways to cosy up in front of the fire.

This selection from Bamford retail for £950 ($1,700 approx).

Each piece in the Bamford cashmere collection has been woven using the most luxurious yarn, producing a range of beautifully made timeless classics.

The Altai cashmere comes from the borders of Mongolia and Tibet and is hand-woven in Prato, Tuscany on 19th century looms. Unbleached fibres are used as this ensures that each item maintains its softness and the cashmere is naturally dyed using pomegranate, aloe-vera and juniper, in keeping with the Bamford ethos of luxury which is 100% sustainable.

They come in stone colour with a finished edge, cream colour with a tassled edge and cream and brown weave with a tassled edge.
