Description
The Empress throw is a heavyweight faux fur throw with a deep navy pile, made from 100% polyester. The face carries long, soft fibres that catch the light and give the throw its plush faux fur effect, while the reverse is a flat, colour-matched soft fabric in the same navy tone. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm, so you can pick the one that suits how you want to use it. The larger size covers more of a bed or a wider sofa; the smaller works well folded over the arm of a chair.
This is a throw for the rooms where you actually settle in. Draped over the back of a sofa or folded at the foot of a bed, the navy reads as a rich, dark neutral that sits happily against grey upholstery, deep teal walls or natural wood. It suits a living room built for evenings in, a bedroom that wants an extra layer, or a reading chair where you want something to pull over your knees. Because polyester holds colour well, the navy stays even and does not fade the way some natural fibres do.
The pile is long on the face and the reverse is flat and smooth, so the two sides give you a choice of texture. Polyester is hard-wearing and quick to dry, which makes a throw like this practical for everyday use rather than something you keep for show. Wider colourways in the range include a deep green, a red and a warm rust, so if the navy suits one room you have options for the others. It is a simple, generous piece that earns its keep across the year, from a cool spring evening to the depths of winter.

Frequently Asked
What is this throw made from?
It is made from 100% polyester, with a long faux fur pile on the face and a flat, soft, colour-matched reverse in the same navy shade.
What size throw should I choose?
There are two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm. The larger suits a bed or wide sofa, while the smaller works folded over a chair or single seat.
Does it have a plain side as well as the fur side?
Yes, the reverse is a flat, smooth soft fabric in matching navy, so you can turn it either way depending on the texture you want against you.
What does the non-slip lining do?
The non-slip lining helps the throw stay put on a sofa or chair rather than sliding off, so it keeps its place when you lean back into it.
Is polyester a practical choice for a throw?
Polyester is hard-wearing and dries quickly, so it holds its colour and copes well with regular everyday use around the home.
