Description
The Rowan throw pairs two very different textures on one piece. The face is a long, shaggy faux Mongolian fur in a warm natural beige, the sort of deep pile that catches the light and softens the line of whatever it is thrown over. Turn it over and the reverse is a colour-matched velvet, smooth and dense where the front is loose and open. At 130 x 175cm it is a generous single-throw size, long enough to run down the length of a double bed or to wrap around one person on a sofa.
It suits a bedroom that leans on tone and texture rather than pattern, which is where you see it here, folded over pale bedding against panelled walls. The neutral beige sits happily with cream, stone, undyed linen and warm wood, so it works as the soft layer at the foot of a bed or draped over the arm of an armchair in a living room. Because one side is fur and the other velvet, you can turn it to whichever feel and finish suits the day. It is the kind of piece you reach for when curling up with a book.
Both sides are made from polyester, which is what gives the fur its resilience and lets the velvet reverse hold its colour. Polyester is hard-wearing, does not absorb much moisture and springs back well, so a shaggy pile like this stays full rather than matting flat with everyday use. It is a plain, single-colour throw with no pattern to place, so it reads as calm rather than busy. Shake it out now and then to keep the long fibres lifted and open across the face.

Frequently Asked
Is this real fur?
No, it is a faux Mongolian fur made from polyester, giving you the long, shaggy pile and softness without any animal product involved.
What does the two-sided construction feel like?
One face is long, loose faux fur and the reverse is a smooth, dense velvet in the same colour, so you can turn it to whichever texture you prefer.
How big is the throw?
It measures 130 x 175cm, a generous single-throw size that runs down the length of a double bed or wraps comfortably around one person on the sofa.
Will the long pile stay full over time?
Polyester springs back well and does not flatten easily, so shaking the throw out from time to time keeps the long fibres lifted and open across the face.
What colours does it sit well with?
The natural beige is a warm neutral, so it works alongside cream, stone, undyed linen and warm wood tones in a bedroom or living room.
