The Wrap
Our journal of all things cashmere

The trouble with January is that the potential for disappointment is always there.

Who can remember their comfort blanket? The truth is many of us don’t have to try that hard – because one way or another we often keep them for years, sometimes through to adulthood.

Travelwrap founder Niamh Barker knows how to work a trend. The rise and rise of loungewear is a case in point. Knitted hoodies, sweatshirts and track pants have become ubiquitous during lockdown when working from home became the new normal.

There are certain accessories that have become key pillars in the wardrobes of modern women. The blanket wrap or over-sized shawl – whatever you want to call it – is one of them.

Female entrepreneurs are front and centre these days when it comes to ethical business. Wellness guru Liz Earle and Travelwrap founder Niamh Barker are two high profile businesswomen who lead the way when it comes to developing companies with a conscience. Here they talk about their latest collaboration – the launch of the limited-edition Liz Earle Wellbeing cashmere wrap to support The Menopause Charity.

The colder it gets outside, the more we love curling up inside under a soft cashmere wrap, with a mug of something piping hot and a crackling fire to warm our body and soul.
