Lets face it, you can’t go wrong with a basic t-shirt. Worn with jeans, joggers or tucked into a skirt, it is the perfect wardrobe essential for mixing and matching with outfits.

The bouclé loop gives this super soft and fluffy throw the look of shearling, a fleece from a recently shorn sheep or lamb. We like that it comes in two colours -  natural and storm - for fitting in with different room decors.
