I didn’t want to like a $389 blanket. The rumblings about the viral Lola Blankets were everywhere a few months ago when I finally – against my better judgment – caved. But since the start of September, my Lola Blanket (I have the luxurious Dessert Sky colorway) has basically become part of my personality. And if, by some catastrophic chain of events, mine disappeared tomorrow, it would be the first thing on my Christmas wishlist to replace.
So, is a Lola Blanket worth it? In case you can't already tell, I say this sincerely, even at full retail – those breathable, cloud-like bubbles of faux fur are on another level – but with the brand’s current 55% off sitewide for Black Friday (use the code BF55), it’s something I’d actively encourage you to gift yourself as an early Christmas present.
I’m the proud mother of the large throw in Desert Sky – one of Lola’s Originals – which also comes in two smaller sizes. I fell for the tonal nuance first; of the eight core shades, Desert Sky felt the most convincingly alpine, like something you’d pull over yourself after an après-ski hot toddy. It’s still holding strong at 4.9/5 stars, now with 671 reviews and counting.
In fact, I might join you and buy a second. Some of the newer Lola collaborations didn’t exist when I made my initial purchase. The one with Rachel Parcell, for instance, comes in soft fawn patterns that nod to the fashion designer’s iconic woodland staircase moment – an animal motif that feels subtler and more elegant than the leopard-and-tiger revival we’ve been steeped in lately.
And since sitewide really means sitewide, Lola’s holiday collection – their famous faux fur, now rendered in Winter Pine and Burgundy – is also fair game. There are blankets, of course, but also pillows, which make a very chic pair if you’re still building out your Christmas decor.
My Lola Blanket and I trauma-bonded during a week-long sick stint – just me, my couch, and that bubble-fur cocoon. Now I can’t watch a movie or enjoy a midnight snack without it.
Those collabs, those offbeat colorways – or any of the Lola Originals, for that matter – are just as worthy as a gift to yourself as they are for everyone else on your list. These blankets have officially crossed from ‘viral internet thing’ into real-life lore; at this point, I’d wager your mother, father, brother, aunt, and best friend all have a Lola penciled on their wishlist already.
At 55% off – better than a buy-one-get-one – you can make that happen. One for them, one for you, still cheaper than retail. A pre-Christmas miracle. You have from now through November 30th to be your own Santa.
Ultra-snuggable blankets are usually the design tax you pay for being cozy. Lola, thankfully, is the exception – and the Rachel Parcell collab takes it a step further. The chic, woodland-fawn pattern trend you’ve been clocking in cool-girl homes all year now lives on the blanket you’ll actually use. Drape it at the foot of a bed or over a sofa arm for a little ‘if you know, you know.’
Lola’s pillows don’t get the same fanfare as the blankets, but they deserve it. This new moody holiday shade comes in a classic square, but the lumbar is not to be slept on, offering a long, elegant line that instantly elevates an accent chair or rounds out a pillowscape. Under $40, it’s a cozy crowd-pleaser gift that reads thoughtful and expensive without actually being either.
Lola’s ombre lineup is basically two blankets in one. Folded, the Navy reads as a deep, quiet classic. Flip it and you get the soft Slate surprise. Unfurl the whole thing to see the gradient in full sweep, a luxe fade that drapes across a bed or sofa like a moody waterfall.
If you’re unsure how to style throw blankets so they look more expensive (and not like you just got cold), the internet’s secondary fixation on ‘Ralph Lauren Christmas’ is worth a scroll. The tartans, the heritage trims, the whole handsome-holiday sensibility – it’s the perfect foil for a lush faux-fur pelt.
