① THE KID WRANGLER
If you’re not quite
ready to let go of the
sea breezes of summer
but need to cuddle up
in November, split the
difference with a Sea
Foam Wind Farm throw
from Crane & Canopy,
a direct-to-consumer
bedding brand. Its
geometric, reversible
pattern comes in a gentle
green and a tightly knit
50-by-60-inch size.
Made of cotton, it’s
surprisingly warm and
machine washable. $85;

It’s no surprise that the
product that started
it all—a luxurious
blanket—is still a fan
favorite for lovers of
the Elder Statesman in
Los Angeles. Handspun
yarns, handloom
knitting, and a penchant
for one-of-a-kind
psychedelic patterns
all come together on
86-by-58 inches of
woven cashmere.
Shades of warm oranges
and magenta conjure
the heat. $3,475;
