Viscose is what makes this one different from every other navy throw. It hangs like something much more expensive — a fluid, almost liquid drape that falls in soft vertical folds instead of holding a stiff crease — and it takes dye deeply enough that the navy has real depth in it rather than reading flat black in a dim room. The weave is slightly irregular, so the colour moves as the light does across a fold. It is the throw you buy when everything else in the room already has a pattern.

Styling
Navy is the easy part; the drape is what you are paying for, so put it where it can hang. Over the arm of a chair or the corner of a sofa with a good foot of it falling free is better than folded into a neat rectangle, which flattens exactly the quality that makes it worth the money.
It is the right partner for a room that already has a lot going on — a patterned rug, a gallery of art, a print on the chairs — because it adds weight and colour without adding another motif. Against camel leather or a rust upholstery it does the classic navy-and-warm-brown pairing; against cream linen it reads crisp and almost nautical. On a bed, folded once at the foot over white bedding, it does more work than a decorative blanket twice its price. More in home decor, bedroom furniture and living room furniture.
Care
- Dry clean only — viscose loses strength when wet and will not recover its drape
- Blot spills immediately with a dry white cloth; do not add water
- Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not wring
- Cool iron on the reverse through a pressing cloth if a crease sets
- Store folded and loose, not compressed under anything heavy
- Keep out of direct sun — deep dyes on viscose are the first to fade
