Snowflakes Faux Fur Polyester Velvet Throw - Snow White

This is a heavyweight faux fur throw in snow white, measuring 150 x 200cm, with a raised snowflake design worked into a deep, long-piled surface. The pile is soft and dense, and the snowflake motifs stand proud of the ground so you feel the pattern as much as you see it. Being polyester through and through, the fur holds its loft and colour well, and it does not shed the way a natural fibre pile can. At 150 x 200cm it is generous enough to cover a double bed across the width or to wrap fully around one person on the sofa.

A throw this size and weight suits a living room where it can live over the arm or back of a sofa, ready to pull down on a cold evening, and it works equally well folded across the foot of a bed for an extra layer. The snow white tone is easy to place against wood, warm neutrals and darker upholstery alike, so it fits a festive winter setting without being tied to one. Because it is weighty, it drapes and stays put rather than sliding off, which makes it a practical choice for actual use rather than display alone.

The face is long-fibre faux fur; the reverse is a flat velvet in a matching tone, which gives the throw a smoother side to turn outward when you want a plainer look. Polyester is a hard-wearing fibre that stands up to regular handling, and the two surfaces give you a choice of texture from the same throw. The supplier gives no care instructions for this item, so we cannot set out a wash routine here; check the sewn-in label before cleaning. This throw sits in our wider Snowflakes range.

Is this throw big enough to cover a bed?

At 150 x 200cm it will cover the width of a double bed or fold across the foot of a larger one, and it wraps fully around one person on the sofa.

What does the reverse feel like?

The back is a flat velvet in a matching snow white tone, so you have a smoother, sleeker side to turn outward when you want a plainer look than the fur face.

Will the faux fur shed?

It is a polyester pile rather than a natural fibre, which means it holds its loft and does not shed in the way animal-fibre throws can with handling.

Is it a warm throw or a light one?

This is a heavyweight throw with a deep, long pile, so it is made for warmth on cold evenings rather than as a light summer cover.

How should I clean it?

The supplier has not provided care instructions for this item, so please follow the sewn-in label on the throw itself before washing or cleaning.
