Gingham Check Faux-Mohair Throw 130 X 170 Cm

The Simons Maison Gingham Check Faux-Mohair Throw offers an exclusive design at $40 CAD, delivering the soft, luxurious look and ultra-soft feel of real mohair without the high cost, while being hypoallergenic and moth-resistant. Made from 100% recycled polyester, it provides high warmth-to-weight through a brushed pile that traps air, making it effective for layering on cold winter days. The fully reversible gingham pattern, rolled fringes, and embroidered logo add a premium finish, but the synthetic material lacks natural luster and may shed initially or pill with heavy use, requiring spot cleaning to preserve its texture.
