Description
This is a faux fur throw with a difference: instead of a single flat pile, it mixes two textures across a checkerboard of squares. Some squares are a smooth, longer faux fur; others are a tighter, curlier boucle. The result is a surface you can feel as much as see, worked here in two warm brown tones the supplier calls Chocolate Truffle, a deeper cocoa square sitting beside a paler sandy one. It measures 140 x 180cm, a generous single-throw size that drapes over one person on a sofa or lies across the foot of a double bed.
It is made to be used rather than merely looked at. The check pattern is quiet enough to sit with most schemes, so it suits a living room that already has a lot going on as easily as a plainer bedroom that wants a bit of texture. Fold it over the arm of a chair, keep it on the sofa for cold evenings, or layer it at the end of a bed. The two brown tones lean into a natural, earthy palette and work well against creams, other browns and unbleached linens.
The face is faux fur and boucle; the reverse is velvet, a smooth backing that gives the throw a different feel depending on which way up you have it. That combination is the point of the piece, one side soft and deep, the other flat and cool. Being made of polyester, it is a hard-wearing synthetic that holds its shape and does not shed the way some natural fibres can. Its neutral colouring means it is easy to move from room to room as the seasons change.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw actually made of?
It is 100% polyester throughout, with a faux fur and boucle mix on the face and a smooth velvet-feel reverse, so both sides are synthetic.
How big is it and what will it cover?
It measures 140 x 180cm, which is a single-throw size that suits draping over one person on a sofa or laying across the end of a double bed.
Why are there two textures in the pattern?
The checkerboard alternates a longer, smoother faux fur square with a tighter, curlier boucle square, so you feel the difference as well as see it.
Does it have a different feel on each side?
Yes. One face is the deep faux fur and boucle mix, and the reverse is a flat, smooth velvet backing, so it feels different depending on which side is up.
What colours will it sit with?
The two warm brown tones lean earthy and neutral, so they pair easily with creams, other browns and natural, undyed fabrics.
