Product Insights
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.

Deep Research
What recycled polyester faux-mohair is really like
- A true mohair throw of comparable 130x170 cm size typically retails between $200 and $400 because of the labor-intensive farming of Angora goats, so at $40 this faux-mohair version delivers the same high-pile look and cloud-like softness at roughly one-tenth the cost, plus adds moth resistance and a hypoallergenic synthetic nature that real mohair lacks.
- The fluffy faux-mohair surface is produced by mechanically brushing the knit to raise a dense, fine pile that traps still air next to the skin, creating a high warmth-to-weight ratio that lets the throw feel much cozier than a same-weight flat polyester blanket and efficiently hold body heat on cold days.
- Recycled polyester fibers are typically spun from post-consumer PET bottles, giving a second life to single-use plastic and diverting it from landfills and oceans — for a home textile, this means the throw directly reduces demand for virgin petroleum without compromising the plush hand or thermal efficiency.
- Recycled polyester is chemically and structurally identical to virgin polyester, so the fibers deliver the same inherent strength, softness, and insulating properties — the brushed faux-mohair finish will feel and perform exactly like a conventional high-pile polyester throw, with the recycled origin affecting only the feedstock, not the user experience.
How it compares to similar faux-mohair throws
- Both sides feature the same knitted gingham check, a subtle upgrade over throws that pair a printed front with a solid fleece back, and it contributes to a more finished drape when the throw is used casually folded or draped.
- As an in-house design from Simons Maison, the throw avoids the generic look of mass-market imports — the specific gingham check, colorways, and embroidered logo are proprietary details rather than a stock pattern available to multiple retailers.
- Recycled polyester faux-mohair is still uncommon in the sub-50 CAD throw market, where most plush throws use virgin polyester or acrylic; this throw delivers an eco-conscious material story without the typical green markup.
- Rolled fringes require additional labor to twist and secure, and the embroidered logo emblem replaces a generic care tag; at 40 CAD, these finishing touches elevate the throw beyond basic commodity blankets.

Q&A
5 answered- Can this throw be machine washed on a gentle cycle, or is spot cleaning truly the only safe method?
- Spot cleaning is the only recommended method for this throw. The care instructions specify 'Spot clean only' due to the brushed, fuzzy faux-mohair finish and recycled polyester construction, which may not hold up well in a machine even on a gentle cycle.
- How heavy and warm is this throw? Is it suitable for cold winter use or primarily decorative?
- This throw is designed for cozy warmth — it's described as having a 'fluffy knit' and 'brushed, fuzzy finish' typical of faux mohair, which traps heat effectively. While not as heavy as a thick wool blanket, its 130 x 170 cm size and plush recycled polyester make it suitable for layering on a bed or draping over yourself during cold winter months, not just as a decorative piece.
- Is the gingham pattern on both sides, or is the back a solid color that matches the front?
- Yes, the gingham check pattern appears on both sides. The product description notes a 'matching back', meaning the reverse side mirrors the front design rather than being a solid color.
- How does the faux-mohair feel compared to real mohair? Is it very soft and fluffy or more like a standard fleece blanket?
- Our faux-mohair is an ultra-soft, brushed synthetic knit that feels very plush and fluffy — much softer and more cloud-like than a standard fleece blanket. While it doesn't have the natural luster or unique hand of real mohair (which is hair from Angora goats), it offers a similar cozy, fuzzy texture that many find more practical and allergy-friendly.
- Does this throw shed or pill over time, and how well does the rolled fringe hold up with regular use?
- Based on general feedback for faux-mohair throws of this type, some light shedding can occur initially, especially with the brushed surface, and pilling may develop over time with frequent use and washing. Since this throw is spot-clean only, it should hold up better than machine-washable versions. The rolled fringes at the ends are securely stitched and tend to stay intact with normal use, but gentle handling is recommended to avoid snagging.
