Empress Velvet Faux Fur Throw - Cream

The Empress throw is a faux fur throw made from 100% polyester, with a deep, long-piled face and a flatter, colour-matched reverse. In the photographs the fur runs in soft vertical channels, giving a ribbed, sculpted texture across the surface rather than a single flat pile. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm, so you can pick one to drape over a single bed or reach across a larger sofa. This is the cream colourway: a warm, off-white that sits somewhere between ivory and soft ecru.

A throw like this belongs where you sit or sleep. Folded over the foot of a bed it adds a layer you can pull up on colder nights; laid along the back of a sofa or an armchair it is there to wrap around while you read or watch television. The cream tone is easy to place, working with pale linens and neutral upholstery as readily as it does against deeper woods and darker walls. Because it is faux fur rather than a flat blanket, it carries visual weight even when it is simply left where it lies.

The face has long, soft fibres you can run your hand through, and the reverse is a flat, matching material. The supplier notes a non-slip lining, which helps it stay in place when draped rather than sliding off a leather sofa or a made bed. Polyester is a hard-wearing, quick-recovering fibre that holds its loft and shrugs off everyday use, which is what you want in a piece that gets pulled about daily. The Empress is a heavyweight throw, so it feels substantial in the hand. It is also offered in other natural shades if cream is not the one for your room.

What is the Empress throw actually made of?

It is 100% polyester, made up as a faux fur with a long soft pile on the face and a flat, colour-matched material on the reverse.

Which size should I choose?

The smaller size is 130 x 180cm, good for a single bed or an armchair, while the larger 140 x 200cm reaches further across a double bed or a sofa.

Will it slide off my sofa?

The supplier fits a non-slip lining on the reverse, which helps keep it in place when it is draped over upholstery or laid across a made bed.

Is it a warm throw or just decorative?

It is described as a heavyweight throw, so it has real substance and warmth as well as the soft faux fur look on top.

What colour is the cream option?

In the photographs it reads as a warm off-white, sitting between ivory and soft ecru, with no strong yellow or grey to it.
