Description
The Rowan throw is built around a contrast most throws do not offer: a deep, shaggy faux Mongolian fur on the front and a smooth velvet reverse on the back, both in the same warm mocha tone. The fur face is long-pile and curled rather than flat, so it catches the light and gives a soft, tactile surface; the velvet side is close and even. Both faces are polyester, which is what makes a piece this plush practical to own. It measures 130 x 175cm, a generous single-throw size that reaches across the width of a bed or drapes over the arm and seat of a sofa.
This is a throw for the parts of the home where you sit still. Folded across the foot of a bed it adds depth to plain bedding, and the velvet reverse means you can turn it fur-side down for a quieter look or fur-side up when you want the texture. Over a chair or the corner of a sofa it reads as a soft neutral that sits comfortably against linen, wool and natural wood. The mocha is a mid-brown that works with cream and grey schemes as easily as with warmer, earthier ones.
The two faces do different jobs. The faux fur front is the one you feel first, long and dense for warmth; the colour-matched velvet reverse is smooth against the skin and helps the throw sit flat when layered. Being polyester throughout, it holds its colour well and does not shed the way a natural fleece can. Shake it out and give the pile a gentle comb with your fingers to keep the fur looking full. If you like the look, it comes in a range of contemporary tones under the same Rowan name.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw made from?
Both faces are 100% polyester: a long-pile faux Mongolian fur on the front and a smooth velvet reverse on the back, matched in the same mocha tone.
Can I use either side facing up?
Yes. The fur side gives you texture and depth, while the velvet reverse offers a smoother, quieter look, so you can turn it whichever way suits the room.
How big is it and what does it suit?
It measures 130 x 175cm, a generous size for draping across the foot of a bed or over the arm and seat of a sofa or armchair.
Does the faux fur shed?
Being polyester rather than a natural fleece, it holds together well. Give the pile an occasional gentle comb with your fingers to keep the fur looking full and even.
What colours does the Rowan throw come in?
This one is mocha, a mid-brown that works with cream, grey and earthier schemes. The Rowan throw is available in a range of contemporary tones.
