7 Hermès Blankets to Snuggle Up in Now
Why is the iconic Avalon Hermès blanket so sought-after? Hermès’ roots are synonymous with equestrian style, and though the brand still creates some of the most sought-after saddles, bridles, and riding attire today, they are now known for mononymous handbags (the Kelly, the Birkin) and those Hermès blankets.
How can you buy an Hermès Avalon blanket? While we do not recommend buying the Hermès blanket dupes at Walmart or Amazon, it is tricky to get your hands on a brand new blanket. The exquisite Avalon blankets are made of merino wool and cashmere, making them exceptionally soft—though we have a feeling that’s not precisely the reason they’ve become so coveted over the years. Known for draping over the sides of celebrities’ and influencers’ sofas, these logo blankets are a symbol of luxury. Sometimes with hyped-up popular designer brands, the ‘luxury,’ (as in the well-crafted gorgeous materials), are an afterthought. Thankfully, with Hermès, that is not the case.
While we recommend buying this blanket at an Hermès store, certain colors are difficult to find—and the price tag may often be quite steep. Buying a pre-loved Hermès blanket, from verified retailers like Vestiaire Collective, 1st Dibs, and The Real Real (where designer items are inspected before purchase), and even through Sotheby’s are great ways to aquire this chic throw in the color you want. For those looking for throws similar to these Hermès blankets, without the designer costs, skip to the bottom to check out some of our unique suggestions.
