Rowan Faux Fur Plain Velvet Throw - Grey

The Rowan throw is a two-sided piece: a deep, curly faux Mongolian fur on the front and a smooth, colour-matched velvet on the reverse. It measures 130 x 175cm, a generous single-throw size that drapes across the foot of a double bed or covers a person lengthways on a sofa. The colour is a mottled charcoal grey, with paler silvery tips catching through the darker pile, so the surface reads as tonal rather than flat. Both faces are 100% polyester, which is the reason it feels as it does: the fibre holds a soft, dense pile and springs back rather than crushing under everyday use.

It suits a bedroom or a living room where you want a layer that does two jobs at once. Fur side up, it is the texture you reach for on a cold evening, curled up with a book. Velvet side up, it settles into a calmer, smoother look for daytime styling. The grey sits easily against cream, natural linen and pale timber, the sort of warm neutral scheme shown here, and it works just as well over a darker sofa where the silvery tips lift against the base. Throw it over the arm of a chair, fold it at the end of a bed, or keep it to hand by a reading spot.

Polyester is a practical choice for something you handle often. It resists shedding its shape, dries quickly and does not absorb odours the way some natural fibres can. The long fur pile is the part to treat gently: shake it out to lift the fibres and avoid dragging or snagging the surface. With the velvet reverse it is reversible in use, so you can turn it to whichever face suits the moment. A soft, tactile piece for anyone building up layers of texture at home.

What does the throw feel like on each side?

One side is a long, curly faux Mongolian fur with a deep pile, and the reverse is a smooth velvet in the same grey, so you get two very different textures in one piece.

How big is it and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 175cm, which is enough to drape over the foot of a double bed, cover a person on the sofa, or fold across an armchair for extra warmth.

What is it made from?

Both the fur front and the velvet reverse are 100% polyester, a hard-wearing synthetic fibre that holds its pile well and springs back rather than crushing flat over time.

How do I keep the fur looking its best?

Treat the long pile gently: shake the throw out now and then to lift and separate the fibres, and try not to drag or snag the surface against rough edges.

Can I use either side facing up?

Yes. The fur side gives you cosy texture for cold evenings, while the smooth velvet reverse offers a calmer look, so turn it to whichever face suits the room that day.
