Wrapped Up
Milan-based brother-sister duo Carlotta and Nicolò Oddi, aka Alanui, pay homage to Native American designs in their cosy knitwear brand. This throw, which took five hours to knit, three hours to assemble and is crafted from the finest cashmere-wool blend, was made for cold nights stretched out on the sofa, surrounded by flickering candles and nose-deep in your favourite novel.

Soothing Scent
These days, scented candles are hard-working multi-hyphenates – they are shelf-decorators, mood-lifters and vibe-setters. This new release from Diptyque is set to be our winter must-have. Describing itself as ‘muted and gentle as a blue night’, it will bathe you in a warming medley of Heliotrope flowers and gentle musk.

Mindful Intentions
The task of writing down goals, resolutions, thoughts or plans deserves a luxurious incentive to maintain motivation and create a sense of order for our overloaded brains. Designed by English-Italian artist Ciao Chiara, this pretty wellness diary offers a space to reflect on self-care habits, meals, water intake, hours of sleep. You can set feel-good goals and take note of the things you’re grateful for.
