Natural red brown is a natural possum fur colour. This fur has not been dyed or bleached so it is even more environmentally friendly. Each natural pelt is unique but we colour match a set to make into a beautiful bed throw for you. Natural red brown is usually a rich reddish brown with some areas of chocolate brown on the rump and a beige undercoat and belly.
This comes with a lovely velvet textured fabric backing which stops the throw from slipping off your bed. The fabric backing is the closest match we can find to compliment the fur colour and is reddish brown.

New Zealand Possum fur is an incredibly silky soft, plush, warm, lightweight and luxurious natural product. In fact they say it is the third warmest fur in the world after polar bear and Arctic fox because of its hollow hair structure that traps warmth like a thermos. And just like polar bear hair, it is the hallow hair structure that does not allow possum fur to freeze, even when exposed to extreme cold. Possum fur is said to be 14% lighter and 8% warmer than wool. So we should all be curled up under a possum fur blanket keeping warm this winter.
New Zealand possum fur is considered durable so if it is well looked after and correctly cleaned and stored when not in use it can last up to 10 years or longer.
