Keep cozy with a Hudson’s Bay Company point blanket. From a design point of view, it’s one of the longest-lasting style statements (230 years and counting) this side of the 49th parallel.
You can easily splurge on a new, signature cover-up ($275 to $475, The Bay, 176 Yonge, 416-861-9111), but finding a vintage throw woven with a quartet of multicoloured stripes at a more frugal price proves difficult. These blankets are big in Japan, where collectors must wonder why those crazy Canucks would ever export something so toasty.
