Willow Animal Velvet Draught Excluder - Navy/Mustard

This is a draught excluder printed with three young foxes, each sitting among bright florals against a deep navy ground. The foxes are highly detailed and hand-painted in feel, their coats picked out in rust and cream, and they sit within a border of leaves, seed heads and small pink and yellow flowers. The whole design is digitally printed onto velvet, so the pile carries the colour with a soft depth rather than a flat finish. It measures 92cm long and 23cm across the face, a long, slim bolster shape made to lie along the foot of a door.

A draught excluder earns its place at the base of an external door or a room door that lets a cold edge through in winter. This one is long enough to span a standard internal doorway, and the navy background with its mustard-yellow velvet reverse gives you two looks depending on which face you turn upward. It suits a room that already carries some colour, a hallway with a painted wall, a study, a bedroom, anywhere the fox print can be seen rather than tucked away. It sits happily against wood flooring and deeper wall shades.

The cover is velvet front and back, the reverse a plain mustard, joined with a knife-edged trim that keeps the seam neat and close to the shape. It fastens with a zip, so the cover comes off for washing and goes back on without fuss, which matters on something that spends its life on the floor. The velvet is polyester, which holds print colour well and resists the fading that catches natural fibres. Please follow the care guidance on the sewn-in label. If you like the fox print, it is worth looking across the wider Willow range for coordinating pieces.

Can I take the cover off to wash it?

Yes. The cover fastens with a zip, so you can remove it for washing and put it back on afterwards. Follow the care label sewn into the cover.

How long is the draught excluder?

It measures 92cm long and 23cm across the face, which is long enough to lie along the base of a standard internal doorway and block the gap underneath.

What is the reverse like?

The reverse is a plain mustard velvet with no print, so you can turn either the fox side or the plain yellow side upward depending on the look you want.

Is it made from velvet?

Yes, both the printed front and the plain reverse are velvet. The velvet is polyester, which holds printed colour well and resists fading over time.

Where is it made?

The excluder is designed, printed and made in the United Kingdom, which the supplier states in the product information.
