The botanical here is woven, not printed — roses, buds and long leaves built into the cloth on a jacquard loom, which is why the reverse comes out as a photographic negative of the face: olive on rose one way, rose on olive the other. Flip it over and you have effectively bought two throws. The hand is denser than a plain cotton weave and it drapes with some weight, so it stays where you put it on a leather or bouclé chair instead of sliding off. Browse more pillows and throw blankets.

Styling
Green side up it reads botanical and slightly English; pink side up it reads much bolder and turns into the accent in the room. Decide which one the sofa needs before you fold it, because the fold is what shows. On olive or forest upholstery, run the pink face out so the throw separates from the seat rather than melting into it.
It is a good foil for anything plain and structural — a boxy linen sofa, a black-frame chair, a solid wool rug. Keep other pattern in the room to solids and texture and let this carry the botanical on its own. At the foot of a bed the woven face reads richer than a printed cotton would in the same spot, and it holds a fold cleanly on a bench or an ottoman.

Care
- Hand wash cold and dry flat; the jacquard structure distorts in a machine
- Do not wring — press the water out between towels
- Do not bleach and do not tumble dry
- Cool iron on the reverse only if needed, never directly on the face
- Finger-comb the fringe straight while damp
- Keep out of long direct sun, which will fade the rose faster than the olive
