Description
The Kallu is a single-layered, double-sided faux fur throw in a deep olive green, made from 100% polyester. What sets it apart is that both faces are faux fur, so there is no thin lining underside to turn away from you. Whichever way it falls, the same dense, soft pile is against you. A wide border runs around all four sides, giving the edges a little more structure and a clean line when the throw is folded or draped. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 150 x 200cm, so you can pick one for a single chair or one that spans a larger sofa or the foot of a double bed.
This is a throw for the room where people actually sit still. Over the arm of a sofa, folded across the end of a bed, or bundled into a reading chair, the olive reads as a warm, grounded green that sits happily with wood tones, natural linen, and the terracotta and rust shades common in a cosy living room. Because both sides are the same, you never have to think about which way to lay it, and it looks considered whether draped loosely or rolled and left on a bench.
Being polyester, the pile is easy to live with. Synthetic fibre does not absorb moisture the way natural fibre does, so it shakes out and settles back quickly, and the colour holds well over time. A good shake and an occasional smooth of the pile in the direction it lies keeps it looking full. We would style it against plainer weaves so the depth of the fur does the talking, layered with a couple of cushions in complementary earthy tones.

Frequently Asked
Is the throw the same on both sides?
Yes, it is single-layered and double-sided, so the same faux fur pile is on both faces and either side can go outermost.
What is the faux fur made from?
It is 100% polyester, a synthetic fibre that gives the pile its softness and holds its colour well over time.
Which size should I choose?
The smaller 130 x 180cm suits a single chair or one person, while the larger 150 x 200cm covers a sofa or the foot of a double bed.
Does polyester feel warm?
The dense pile traps air well, so it feels cosy and warm to snuggle under despite being a lightweight synthetic fibre.
How do I keep the pile looking full?
Give it a good shake to lift the fibres and smooth the pile in the direction it naturally lies to keep it looking even.
