Empress Velvet Faux Fur Throw - Emerald

The Empress throw is a heavyweight faux fur throw in a deep emerald green, made from 100% polyester. The face carries long, soft fibres that give the piece its faux fur pile, while the reverse is a flat, colour-matched material in the same emerald tone. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm, so you can choose the smaller for a single chair or the larger to reach across a wider sofa or the foot of a bed. Being a synthetic pile, it holds colour well and gives you that dense, plush surface without any animal fur.

This is a throw for the room where you actually sit still. Draped over the arm of an armchair or folded across the end of a bed, the emerald reads as a strong, saturated green that sits well against grey and cream upholstery, natural timber and darker painted walls. Because both faces are usable, one furred and one flat, you can turn it whichever way suits the moment, pile-up for warmth against the skin or flat-side-up for a smoother look. The larger 140 x 200cm size is the one to reach for if you want it to hang down the side of a two-seater rather than just cover the seat.

The pile is genuinely dense, so this is a throw with real weight to it rather than a thin decorative layer. Polyester is easy to live with day to day: it does not absorb moisture the way natural fibres do, it resists creasing and it keeps its colour through repeated use. Always check the sewn-in care label before you launder it, as we are not given the wash settings here. Style it as a single strong colour note in a neutral room, or set the emerald alongside the other natural shades in the Empress range for a layered, textural look across your seating.

Is this real fur?

No, it is a faux fur throw made entirely from polyester. The long, soft fibres on the face give the look and feel of fur without any animal material at all.

What is the reverse like?

The reverse is a flat, soft material in the same emerald green as the pile, so both faces are colour-matched and either side can be turned outwards depending on how you want it to look.

Which size should I choose?

The smaller 130 x 180cm suits a single armchair, while the larger 140 x 200cm is better for draping across a two-seater sofa or the foot of a bed where you want it to hang down the sides.

Is it a heavy throw or a light one?

It is a heavyweight throw with a dense pile, so it has real weight and warmth to it rather than being a thin, purely decorative layer over your seating.

What colour is it exactly?

It is a deep, saturated emerald green on both the furred face and the flat reverse, which reads as a strong jewel tone against grey, cream or natural timber surroundings.

Does the emerald sit well with other colours?

Yes, the deep green works against neutral greys and creams, natural wood and darker painted walls, holding its own as a single strong colour note in a calmer room.
