Description
The Empress is a heavyweight faux fur throw in a deep pine green, made from 100% polyester. The face is a dense, plush pile that catches the light along its length, while the reverse is a smooth, suede-look backing in the same green, so it sits well whichever way it falls. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm, so you can pick the smaller for a single or sofa drape and the larger to cover a double bed or two people on the settee.
This is a throw for the colder months, when you want something with real weight to it rather than a thin decorative layer. Draped over the arm of a sofa it gives you something to pull across your knees of an evening; folded across the foot of a bed it adds a warm top layer you can pull up as the night gets colder. The pine green is a settled, deep shade that sits happily against natural wood, cream, grey and other muted tones, so it works in a living room or a bedroom without fighting the rest of the scheme.
The faux fur is polyester, which means it holds its plush texture through repeated use and does not shed the way some natural fibres can. The smooth backing gives the throw a little structure so it drapes and folds cleanly rather than bunching. Polyester also washes and dries readily, though we would check the sewn-in care label before the first wash rather than guess at settings. The Empress is also made in a matching 140 x 200cm size if you want a larger version of the same throw for a bigger bed.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw made from?
It is 100% polyester faux fur, with a plush pile on the face and a smooth suede-look backing in the same pine green colour.
What sizes does the Empress throw come in?
Two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm. The smaller suits a sofa or single bed, the larger covers a double or gives two people room to share.
Will the faux fur shed or flatten over time?
Polyester faux fur is made to hold its plush texture through repeated use, so it resists the flattening and shedding you sometimes get with other fibres.
Is this a lightweight or a heavyweight throw?
It is a heavyweight throw with real weight to it, made for warmth on colder evenings rather than as a thin decorative layer.
How should I clean it?
Polyester is straightforward to launder, but please check the sewn-in care label on your throw for the correct wash and dry settings before you start.
