Description
This is a faux fur throw with a checkerboard face and a smooth velvet reverse, made from 100% polyester and measuring 140 x 180cm. The face mixes two textures across the squares: a dense boucle loop and a longer, softer faux fur pile, so the check reads as much through touch as through the shift between olive tones. It is one generous throw size rather than a range, cut to drape over the end of a bed or the arm of a sofa with room to wrap up in.
Olive is a forgiving colour to place, and the earthy checkerboard here sits comfortably against natural woods, warm neutrals and other muted greens without competing for attention. Drop it over a reading chair, fold it along the foot of the bed, or keep it on the sofa for cold evenings. The dual texture means it earns its place face up for the check or reverse up for the plain velvet, depending on how you want the corner to fall. At 140 x 180cm it is wide enough for one person to be thoroughly covered and long enough to reach across a two-seater.
Both sides are polyester, which is why it feels soft straight away and holds its shape rather than sagging with use. Polyester is quick to dry and does not hold water the way natural fibres do, so a throw like this bounces back fast after a wash. The boucle loops and the fur pile are both worth a gentle shake to lift the pile after laundering. The check pattern and the olive colourway make it a plain-but-not-flat choice for a room that already has enough going on elsewhere.

Frequently Asked
What is this throw made from?
It is 100% polyester throughout, with a faux fur boucle check on the face and a smooth velvet reverse, so both sides feel soft to the touch.
How big is the throw?
It measures 140 x 180cm, which is a generous single size, wide enough to cover one person fully and long enough to drape over a two-seater sofa.
Can I use both sides?
Yes. The face carries the olive checkerboard in mixed boucle and fur textures, and the reverse is plain velvet, so you can turn whichever side you prefer face up.
Does the pattern show on both sides?
The checkerboard is on the faux fur face only. The velvet reverse is a single plain colour without the check design.
Why choose polyester for a throw?
Polyester feels soft immediately, holds its shape well, dries quickly and does not absorb water the way natural fibres do, which makes it easy to live with day to day.
