Rowan Faux Fur Plain Velvet Throw - Ginger

The Rowan throw pairs two very different surfaces on one piece. The face is a long-pile faux Mongolian fur, the kind with loose, shaggy strands that fall in soft ripples rather than lying flat. The reverse is a colour-matched velvet, so whichever side you turn up you keep the same warm ginger tone. It is made from 100% polyester and measures 130 x 175cm, a generous single-throw size that reaches across a bed or trails over the arm of a sofa. Being polyester, the pile holds its colour well and does not shed the way a natural fibre can, which is worth knowing if you have it out in daily use.

This is a throw for the rooms you actually relax in. Draped along the foot of a bed it adds a layer you can pull up on a cold night, and the long pile reads as texture against plainer cotton bedding. On a sofa or an armchair it works as much for looks as for warmth, and the velvet reverse means you can flip it if you want a smoother surface under you. The ginger tone sits happily alongside neutrals, natural wood and other earthy shades, so it settles into a relaxed, modern room without fighting anything already there.

The two faces do different jobs: the fur front is the show side, deep and tactile, while the velvet back gives it weight and a softer hand when it is folded. Because it is a synthetic pile, keep to the care the supplier gives and let it dry naturally rather than rushing it with heat, so the strands stay loose and springy. Shake it out now and then to lift the pile back up. Fold it over a bed end, a chair back or a blanket ladder and it looks as good put away as it does in use.

What is the throw actually made of?

It is 100% polyester, with a long-pile faux Mongolian fur on the front and a colour-matched velvet reverse, so both sides carry the same ginger tone.

How big is it and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 175cm, a generous single-throw size that reaches across the foot of a bed or drapes over a sofa or an armchair.

Can I use either side up?

Yes. The fur front is the tactile show side, and the velvet reverse gives a smoother, weightier surface, so turn up whichever suits how you are using it.

Will the long pile shed or flatten?

As a polyester pile it holds up better than a natural fibre, but shake it out now and then to lift the strands back up if they settle under regular use.

What colour is it?

It is a warm ginger, a rich rusty orange-brown that sits well with neutrals, natural wood and other earthy shades in a relaxed, modern room.

Does it work on both a bed and a sofa?

It does. At 130 x 175cm it layers along a bed end for extra warmth or drapes over a sofa and armchair as much for texture as for practical use.

How should I look after it?

Follow the care the supplier provides and let it dry naturally rather than with heat, which helps the long pile stay loose and springy over time.
