Kallu Reversible Faux Fur Throw - Mocha

The Kallu throw is a single-layered, double-sided faux fur, which is what sets it apart from most throws in its category. Rather than a soft face over a plain or knitted back, both sides carry the same faux fur pile, so whichever way it falls over a sofa arm or the foot of a bed, the good side is the side you see. The photographs show a warm mid-brown mocha tone, a colour the supplier places in a range of earthy shades, and a wide plush border runs around all four edges. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 150 x 200cm, the smaller a generous single-seat throw and the larger enough to cover two people on a sofa or drape across a double bed.

This is a throw for the room where people actually sit still. Over the back of an armchair, folded across the end of a bed, or bundled onto a sofa on a cold evening, it does the plain job a throw is for, which is warmth you can reach for without getting up. The mocha tone is easy to place against wood, cream walls and most neutral upholstery, as the styled photograph shows it resting on a plain timber bench. It suits a bedroom or a living room equally, and because both faces match there is no wrong way to fold it.

The fibre is 100% polyester, which is why the pile stays soft, springs back after use and does not hold water the way a natural fur would. Polyester of this kind is hard-wearing and shrugs off everyday handling, and the deep pile is where the warmth comes from rather than any added weight. The wide border on all sides gives the edges a little more body so the throw sits well when folded. If you like the double-sided idea, the throw is offered in the wider earthy range the supplier describes, so there is scope to match it to a room already leaning warm and neutral.

Is both sides of the throw faux fur?

Yes. It is a single-layered, double-sided faux fur, so both faces carry the same soft pile and either side can face outwards.

What is the throw made from?

It is 100% polyester. That is why the pile stays soft, springs back after use and does not soak up water the way natural fur would.
