Description
The Empress throw is a heavyweight faux fur blanket in a deep, warm brown. It comes in two sizes: 130 x 180cm for a single or a generous sofa layer, and 140 x 200cm where you want the throw to reach further across a double bed or over the arm of a large sofa. The pile is dense and plush, laid out in soft vertical panels that catch the light differently as you move around the room, so the surface reads as a rich, unbroken brown rather than a flat one.
This is a throw built for the parts of the day when you want to slow down. Draped along the foot of a bed it adds a cosy top layer without the bulk of an extra duvet, and thrown over a sofa it turns an ordinary evening seat into the one everyone wants. The warm brown sits happily against cream, caramel and other neutral tones, and works just as well against darker, more grounded schemes. Because it is heavyweight, it holds its place when you settle under it rather than sliding off.
The face is faux fur with a genuinely soft, deep pile, and the reverse carries a non-slip lining so it stays put on a smooth leather or wooden-armed sofa. It is made from polyester throughout, which is why it feels plush, dries readily and shrugs off everyday knocks better than many natural fibres. Shake it out and smooth the pile with your hand to keep it looking its best. If you are furnishing a whole scheme, the throw is a straightforward way to pull the softer textures of a room together.

Frequently Asked
What is this throw made from?
It is 100% polyester, with a soft faux fur pile on the face and a non-slip lining on the reverse to help it stay in place.
Which size should I choose?
The 130 x 180cm suits a single bed or a two-seater sofa, while the larger 140 x 200cm reaches across a double bed or over a bigger sofa more comfortably.
Will it slide off a leather sofa?
The reverse has a non-slip lining, which helps it grip smooth surfaces like leather or a wooden-armed sofa far better than a plain-backed throw would.
Is it a heavy throw or a light one?
It is a heavyweight throw with a dense pile, so it feels substantial and warm when you settle under it rather than light and airy.
How do I keep the pile looking good?
Give it a shake to lift the fur and smooth it back with your hand along the direction of the pile so it keeps its plush, even texture.
