de Le Cuona | Tribal Linen Throw with Wool Binding – Earth

This is a linen throw finished with a wool binding, and it is the sort of piece we use to bring a little texture to a room that is otherwise quite still. Earth is a warm, mid-toned brown, close to the colour of dry clay, and it sits well with natural materials. The linen gives the throw a loose, relaxed fall rather than a stiff one, while the bound edge keeps the outline neat when it is folded or draped over the arm of a chair. The Tribal pattern adds interest without being loud.

The reference is TLT2T, supplied by de Le Cuona and sold each. The throw is 135 cm wide, and it is made of linen with a wool binding, as the name describes. We do not have the length or the care details in our records, so please ask the studio if you need to know whether it will cover a particular bed or sofa, and what the maker advises for washing. We would rather you checked than assumed with a piece that is meant to last.

We would drape Earth over the arm of a linen sofa, or fold it across the foot of a bed made up in white or oatmeal bedding, where the colour reads as a deliberate note. It also works over the back of a reading chair in a study, or in a guest room as a spare layer. For pairing, we like it with cream and stone cushions, aged brass, and a deeper brown velvet or a rust bouclé, so that the browns in the room feel related.

As this is a finished accessory there is no making up to arrange, which makes it an easy way to add colour and texture. Fold it loosely rather than pressing it into creases, and air it from time to time. Check the care guidance with us before cleaning, since linen and wool can behave differently when washed. If you are buying more than one, please order together so that the colour and the weave match closely.
