If there’s one product that we’re known for here at Etton Taylor, it’s our fur-trimmed wraps. These beauties have been with us for years and they remain one of our bestsellers, season after season. That’s why we thought it was high time they had their moment in the spotlight with a whole blog dedicated to singing their praises!
Why do they remain a favourite? Because they combine elegance and practicality so effortlessly. The fine cashmere and silk blend feels almost magical, light as a feather and surprisingly warm. Drape one over a cashmere sweater or wear it as a scarf in autumn and winter and you’ll stay perfectly cosy. But if you, like us, always want to get maximum value out of your accessories, you’ll be pleased to hear that these wraps are no one-season wonder. You certainly won’t find us packing ours away in the spring… They are the ideal extra layer for smart outfits on cooler spring days or summer evenings when the temperature drops. Think of it as your go-to for summer weddings, an evening at the races, lunches with the girls and evenings sitting alfresco in your favourite pub garden.
Colours and patterns for all occasions
Another reason for their enduring popularity is the variety of options to choose from! There’s something for everyone, from understated shades in black, navy or camel to striking country-inspired patterns. Some prefer the drama of black on black, others lean toward the softness of tweed prints or the head-turning charm of our pheasant print.
And this year, they’ve had a little summer makeover. We’ve introduced two new options- mint with a recycled raccoon trim and hot pink with recycled silver fox - which have been flying off the stand and out the door of the stock room! The mint version has been flying off the shelves; no doubt helped along by a fabulous footwear brand’s matching collection. All in all, it’s the perfect wrap for long summer evenings out, adding just enough warmth, plenty of style and a touch of fun.
How to style yours
One of the pieces of feedback we get time and time again about our wraps and why they are so well loved is their versatility. They’re easy to style and can be worn in lots of ways, such as:
● Drape yours loosely over the shoulders like a pashmina - perfect over a dress or strappy top on summer evenings.
● Wear it like an oversized scarf through the colder months, layered over knitwear or a winter coat. So. Very. Snuggly!
● For a more tailored look, some of our customers like to cinch their wrap in at the waist with a belt, a move that can instantly smarten up a casual outfit.
● They also make excellent travel wraps. Fold one down small and tuck it into your carry-on bag - if you ask us, it’s a godsend if you find plane air conditioning a little too chilly.
The easy way to elevate an outfit
Finally, there’s that all-important trim. The soft, luxurious recycled fur trim (also available in different colours - got matchy-matchy or contrast) is the snug final flourish. Think of it as the quick way to elevate your outfit and make you feel like a million dollars.
If you’re yet to try one of these perennial favourites, why not add one to your wardrobe this season? We reckon you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again, all year-round… Shop the collection here.
