Totally Tartan
This year’s festive season is trimmed in tartan! Trad plaid is hot again, thanks to designers who have reinvigorated the heritage look by using it in more modern and refined ways. Curl up on Roberto Tapinassi and Maurizio Manzoni’s statement sofa covered in limited-edition
Kilt fabric by Jean Paul Gaultier while coccooning under Hermès’ Escapade blanket — you’ll be transported to hygge heaven. Brunelli’s tartan wool accent pillow is a handsome addition to your bedroom, especially when paired with cosy plaid drapery made from Kravet Canada fabric. For a more subtle hit of pattern, deck your hall with Foscarini’s understated white suspension lamp, and serve spirits in Tiffany & Co.’s highball glasses. Your winter wardrobe deserves some rad plaid, too. Gucci’s luxe reversible wrap is a cosy piece that transitions perfectly from falling leaves to falling snow. Or, throw Mulberry’s tartan check tote on your shoulder, lace up the Abel sneakers by Rossignol, and start shopping for those holiday presents in style.
