Description
The Durelle throw carries a damask pattern printed onto pure cotton, a swirling paisley and floral motif in coral pink against a soft cream ground. At 130 x 170cm it is a generous single-layer throw, long enough to drape over a two-seater sofa or fold across the foot of a bed, and it finishes at both ends with a knotted tasselled trim rather than a plain hem. The reverse is a plain cotton finish, so the printed face is the side you show and the underside stays quiet.
This is a throw for layering. Draped over the arm of a chair or folded on a bench, the coral-on-cream print sits easily with warm neutral rooms, natural timber and pale walls, and the tassels give it a relaxed, lived-in edge rather than a formal one. Because the pattern reads clearly across the whole cloth, it works as much as an accent on a made bed as it does thrown casually over a reading chair, and the coral tone brings warmth to a room without dominating it.
It is made from 100% cotton throughout. Cotton is breathable and hard-wearing, it takes a printed pattern crisply, and it softens with use and washing, which is why it suits a throw that gets handled every day. The knotted tassels sit at the two short ends; comb them through with your fingers after washing to keep them tidy. Cotton can crease and shrink a little if washed hot, so treat it gently and it will keep its handle for years. If you like the coral, the print gives a room a clear anchor to build other soft furnishings around.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw made of?
It is made from 100% cotton throughout, both the printed face and the plain reverse, so it is breathable, hard-wearing and softens with use.
How big is it and what will it cover?
It measures 130 x 170cm, which is enough to drape over a two-seater sofa, fold across the foot of a bed or cover a reading chair.
Is the pattern on both sides?
No. The coral damask print is on one face and the reverse is a plain cotton finish, so you display the patterned side and the underside stays quiet.
How do I look after the tassels?
The knotted tassels run along the two short ends. After washing, comb them through with your fingers to keep the strands neat and untangled.
Will the cotton crease?
Cotton can crease and may shrink a little if washed too hot, so wash it gently and it will keep its handle and colour for a long time.
