Bresso Cotton Throw - Brown

Our Bresso throw is woven in brown, with a lighter thread tracing a geometric pattern of arches, rounded loops and stepped lines, so the surface has real texture rather than a flat print. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a comfortable size for one person to wrap round their shoulders or draw over their knees, and generous enough to drape well over the arm of a chair. The yarn is a cotton-rich blend: 62% cotton, with acrylic, polyester, viscose, polyamide and a little wool making up the rest. Cotton is soft and breathable against the skin.

Lay it over the back of a wooden armchair, fold it at the end of the bed, or keep it on the sofa for chilly evenings. The brown tone sits easily with natural wood, linen and stone, and the woven pattern gives a plain sofa or a simple bedspread a welcome point of interest. It also hangs well from a peg or a hook by the door, where the fringe falls neatly and the throw stays within easy reach. At 1.5KG it has a satisfying weight on the lap without being awkward to lift, shake out and fold.

The ends are finished with a full fringe gathered into small knotted tassels, which keeps the loose threads tidy and gives the throw a soft, informal edge. Care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting, and takes a medium iron if you prefer a smoother finish. That makes it a practical choice for a busy living room or a guest bed that sees regular use. For a relaxed look, fold it lengthways and let it fall over one arm of the sofa with the tassels hanging free; for a neater bedroom, fold it in thirds and lay it across the foot of the bed.
