The Alpaca Fur Throw by Samantha Holmes - Made to Order / / Champagne

The ultimate in luxury home inspiration. Our Alpaca skins are tanned, softened and handcrafted to the highest standards by skilled artisans in Peru. The Alpacas have not been killed for their fur. Our skins are ethically sourced from Suri Alpacas which have died of natural causes. Each throw is made from lots of small pieces, carefully matched for colour, texture and shape and therefore no two throws are alike. An over-dye is commonly applied to the skin to achieve a more even consistency of colour but we do get a natural variation in the shades of fur. The backing is a practical wipe-clean microfiber suede. Our throws are suitable as floor rugs, particularly as bedside rugs, as they are very hard wearing but they can equally be used as a heavy blanket. We recommend underlay and non-slip grips if they are used as rugs. Alpaca is one of the softest, most durable and insulating fibres on the planet. Other colours are available please get in touch to enquire about lead times.
