47 Festive Christmas Stockings For The Whole Family
The excitement is building, but have you bought the ultimate finishing touch? Where will Santa leave the presents if you haven’t hung your stocking? Exactly. So scroll below for the pick of the best Christmas stockings…
In a volatile world, we instinctively return to comfort and things that make us feel safe. Traditions ground us; they may come from our childhood, and there’s nothing more innocent and childlike than hanging your stocking and leaving a mince pie out for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve. So, unsurprisingly, there’s a huge demand for vintage and retro decorations to go on our trees and our mantelpieces and the theme resonates in the selection of knitted stockings and velvet Santa sacks.
Rebecca Udall’s velvet iterations are timeless and so beautifully decadent, as are House of Hackney’s drawstring sacks in a more contemporary way. While traditional Santa emblazoned styles, like the Primark and Zara ones, are perfect for the kids, designers such as Walker & Walker are embracing more neutral or calming shades and prints.
Ultimately, there’s a style for everyone from the glamorous at Harrods and Aspinal of London to the quirky, trend-led iterations from Jonathan Adler and Atelier Raff. But will you choose to match your own home decor or the personality of your loved ones. The choice is over to you…
