    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes throws and blankets luxury quality?

    What lifts throws and blankets into luxury is the hand: fine cashmere, alpaca or top-grade lambswool, woven close and soft and neatly finished at the edge, made to be felt as much as seen; the everyday range sits under blankets and throws. Our luxury throws and blankets at Eleish Van Breems Home are natural-fibre pieces.

    Which luxury throws and blankets suit warm sleepers?

    Warm sleepers do better with a lighter piece from the luxury throws and blankets, one that lays a thin layer over the bed and lifts off in the night, rather than a dense or down-filled weight; a Roros tweed throw sits at the cosier end. Reach for an open, airy make over a heavy one.

    Where do luxury throws and blankets belong outside the sofa?

    Luxury throws and blankets earn a place well beyond the bed, over the arm of a reading chair, along a window seat or coiled in a basket by the hearth, wherever a room wants a little softness; a premium blanket does the same downstairs. Leave one loosely folded so it reads as used, not staged.

    How do I care for luxury throws and blankets?

    Cashmere and fine-wool luxury throws and blankets are safest hand-washed cool or given a specialist clean, then pressed flat between towels and never wrung; a luxury pillow wants the same gentle handling. Store them folded with a cedar block rather than sealed away in plastic for the summer.
