Description
The Empress throw is a heavyweight faux fur throw measuring 130 x 180cm, made from 100% polyester with a deep, long-pile face and a flat, colour-matched reverse. The face has long, soft fibres brushed into gently defined channels, giving it a groomed, pelt-like look, while the underside is a smooth, flat material in the same tone. As a single-piece throw there is no cover to remove and nothing to fill; what you see is what you unfold. This one is a soft, warm grey, with the pile catching light a shade paler at the tips.
A throw at this size covers a single bed generously and drapes across the foot of a double or king, so it works as much for the bedroom as for the sofa. Thrown over the arm of a chair or folded at the end of a bed, it reads as the thing you reach for on a cold evening rather than a purely decorative layer. The grey is quiet enough to sit against most bedding and upholstery, and the plain face means it does not fight a patterned cushion or a printed duvet. It suits a room built around soft, natural tones, and it layers happily with other throws if you like to build up texture.
The pile is genuinely long and dense, which is where the weight comes from, and the flat reverse gives you a second, sleeker surface if you prefer the smoother side up. Being polyester throughout, it is straightforward to live with and holds its colour well. Shake it out and smooth the pile back into line after a heavy evening's use and it settles quickly. The Empress is offered in a range of natural colourways alongside this grey, so you can match one to a room or mix a few for a layered, tonal effect.
