Description
The Empress throw is a heavyweight faux fur throw in a warm taupe brown, made from 100% polyester and available in two sizes: 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm. The face carries long, dense fibres with the deep pile of faux fur, worked in a channelled panel that catches the light across the surface. The reverse is a flat, colour-matched velvet in the same taupe, so both faces of the throw sit in the same tone. This is the substantial end of the throw category rather than a light summer layer, which is worth knowing before you choose it.
A throw this size and weight suits the end of a bed, where the 140 x 200cm covers a double comfortably and the 130 x 180cm sits neatly across a single or folded across a larger bed. Draped over the arm of a sofa or an armchair, it reads as a soft, textured layer in a warm neutral. The taupe brown works with cream, stone and natural woods, and the deep pile adds contrast against flat weaves and plain upholstery. It is a throw to reach for on the sofa on a cold evening as much as one to dress a bed with.
The face is a soft, long-fibred faux fur and the reverse is a flat velvet in the matching taupe, so you get the plush pile on one side and a smoother finish on the other. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds colour well, which keeps a warm neutral like this looking consistent through repeated use. Because we cannot confirm the wash instructions from the supplier, we would suggest checking the sewn-in care label before laundering. If you like the depth of pile, the throw comes in the larger 140 x 200cm as well as this size, so you can match it to the piece you are dressing.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw made from?
It is 100% polyester, with a long-fibred faux fur face and a flat, colour-matched velvet reverse in the same taupe tone throughout.
What sizes does it come in?
There are two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 140 x 200cm, so you can match it to a single bed, a double or a sofa depending on how you want to use it.
Is the reverse the same as the fur side?
No, the face is the long-fibred faux fur pile and the reverse is a flat, smoother velvet, both in the same matching taupe brown.
Will it slip off the sofa or bed?
The throw has a non-slip lining built in to help keep it in place across upholstery and bedding, so it stays where you put it.
Is this a lightweight throw?
No, it is a heavyweight throw with a deep, dense pile, so it is better suited to warmth on colder evenings than to a light summer layer.
