Description
The Empress is a heavyweight faux fur throw with a dense, plush pile, made from 100% polyester. It comes in two sizes, 130x180cm and 140x200cm, so you can choose between a throw that sits neatly over a chair or the end of a bed and one long enough to pull across a sofa or a double. The colour here is a soft oatmeal, a warm off-white that reads slightly deeper in the folds where the pile catches the light. The close-up shows the fur worked in wide, gently raised channels that run the length of the throw, giving it texture without any pattern to compete with the rest of a room.
A throw this weight earns its place on a sofa first. It is the layer you reach for on a cold evening, heavy enough to feel substantial across the lap and soft enough to sit against bare skin. Draped along the back of a sofa or folded at the foot of a bed, the oatmeal tone is quiet and easy to place, sitting comfortably with linen, wool and warm neutral walls, and lifting a scheme built on greys and browns. Because it is plain, it works as the calm element in a room that already has plenty going on, or as a soft foundation you build cushions and colour on top of.
The pile is polyester throughout, which is why it stays plush with regular use and does not shed or mat the way some soft finishes do. Polyester holds its shape well and springs back after being sat on or folded away. Shake it out and lay it flat to keep the channels even, and it will look full and inviting each time. The Empress is also made in a larger 140x200cm size if you want fuller coverage on a bigger bed or a deeper sofa.
