Frye Faux Fur Blankets
Reversible throws in Tan, Grey, Ivory and Fig
The Bubble Rabbit throw puts a raised faux fur face on one side and a smooth micro mink plush on the other, so the texture you get is the one you flip to. Both surfaces are polyester. No rabbit was involved and the whole thing goes in a washing machine. At 50 by 70 inches it covers one person from shoulders to feet on a couch without leaving a heap of fabric on the floor.
The Bubble Rabbit Throw in Four Colors
Tan
Warm beige that settles against brown leather, oak and walnut without any contrast to manage. Shadow collects between the raised ridges, so a single flat color still shows the pattern.
Check availability
Grey
Cool and deliberately quiet. It holds up next to charcoal, black and blue-gray upholstery, and it never becomes the loudest thing in the room.
Check availability
Ivory
The lightest of the four and the one where texture reads best. Highlights and shadows run right across the pile, which makes the bubble pattern obvious from across a room.
Check availability
Fig
Deep wine purple, closer to an accent than a neutral. Pick it when the throw is meant to be noticed rather than blend into the couch it lives on.
Check availabilityEvery colorway uses the identical 50 x 70-inch build, so the choice is purely about the room it lands in. Which shades a retailer stocks moves through the year.
Which Frye Throw Fits
Bubble Rabbit Faux Fur Throw
The throw on this page. Its raised face gives the most pronounced surface texture Frye makes, in a size that still folds down small.
- 50 x 70 inches, roughly 4 lb
- Faux rabbit fur face, micro mink reverse
- 100% polyester, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified
- Tan, Grey, Ivory and Fig
Luxe and Arctic Luxe Faux Fur
Ten inches wider and built heavier. This is the size that stops two people pulling the same blanket in opposite directions.
- 60 x 70 inches, high pile front, plush solid back
- Luxe is listed at 1150 GSM, the densest of the range
- Arctic Luxe runs 830 GSM and feels lighter for it
- Cold gentle wash, tumble low, no bleach or iron
Chevron Faux Mohair Throw
Reach for this one when a room needs texture but a deep fur pile would look too heavy sitting in it.
- 50 x 70 inches, chevron pattern rather than fur pile
- 73% acrylic and 27% polyester
- Flatter and more fabric-like up close
- Burgundy, Clay, Cream, Green, Indigo and Oatmeal
The collection name tells you less than the measurements do. Two Frye throws can both be sold as faux fur and still differ by ten inches of width and 320 grams per square meter.
Four Things to Know Before You Buy
Faux rabbit fur, no rabbit
The name describes a texture, not a fiber. Polyester is spun to imitate the short dense softness people associate with rabbit fur, and the micro mink back is polyester too. Nothing in this blanket came off an animal.
A throw, not a bed blanket
Fifty by seventy inches covers one adult on a couch. A bare queen mattress runs about 60 by 80 before any fabric hangs over the sides, so this works as a layer across the lower bed instead of the blanket you sleep under.
Two surfaces, one blanket
The fur side carries the raised bubble pattern and looks best facing out over furniture. Flip it and the shorter micro mink plush sits against you instead. Neither side is the wrong way round.
Washable, within limits
It goes in a machine as long as the drum is big enough for it to tumble freely. Leave the fabric softener out, since it coats synthetic pile and flattens it. The tag sewn into the seam overrides anything a listing claims.
Where a 50 by 70 Throw Works
| The spot | How it works | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| One person on the couch | Shoulders to feet with room left to tuck | Seventy inches of length is what matters here, not the width |
| Two people sharing | Tight. The 60 x 70 Luxe is the honest answer | Ten inches of extra width separates sharing from tugging |
| Over an armchair | Fold it rather than spreading it flat | The bubble texture stays visible even when most of it is hidden |
| Foot of a queen bed | A concentrated band of warmth across the legs | It will not reach the sides of the mattress and is not meant to |
| Only blanket on a bed | Too small for that. A comforter is the fit | A bare queen measures roughly 60 by 80 inches before overhang |
| Guest room styling | Folded at the end of the bed, fur side out | Ivory shows the raised pattern most clearly under lamp light |
| Carried room to room | Light enough to move in one trip | About 4 lb, close to half what a heavy quilt weighs |
| Warm house, mild winter | Keep the micro mink side against you | Shorter pile feels less dense than the fur face does |
- Faux fur traps air between synthetic fibers, and that is how a compact throw stays warm without the bulk of a quilt. No temperature rating exists for it. How warm it feels depends on the room, what you are wearing and how much of you is covered.
- Crumbs vanish into high pile and stay there. Eating under this throw costs more cleanup later than it saves in comfort now.
- A 60 x 70 throw covers about 20 percent more surface area than a 50 x 70. That sounds minor written down and stops sounding minor the first time you spread one across a sectional.
Bubble Rabbit and Luxe Side by Side

Bubble refers to the rounded raised sections across the face. Light catches them differently as the blanket folds, which keeps a solid color from going flat. Turn it over and the pile drops to a short even plush that feels smoother against skin.
Frye Luxe Faux Fur Throw
Wider, and heavier per square meter
- Size
- 60 x 70 in
- Face
- 100% polyester, high pile
- Reverse
- Plush solid
- Density
- 1150 GSM
- Care
- Cold gentle wash, tumble low
- Never
- Bleach or iron
- Compare with
- Arctic Luxe at 830 GSM
GSM stands for grams per square meter and counts how much fabric sits in a fixed area. It ranks density, not warmth. At 1150 GSM this is the heaviest build in the Frye range, and the extra ten inches of width is what you feel when two people share it.
- Frye calls several different throws faux fur and they are not interchangeable. The full model name plus the stated dimensions identify a product. The collection name on its own identifies almost nothing.
- Care instructions belong to the model rather than the brand. The Luxe asks for a cold gentle cycle and low tumble drying. Whatever is sewn into the throw in your hands overrides every other source, this page included.
- Color offerings shift between sellers and between seasons. Four Bubble colorways have been in circulation, and which of them is in stock on any given day is up to the retailer.
Frye Blanket Reviews
I was actually looking for a cotton blanket to add to my bed for fall and winter. Then I came across THIS one. It happens to be the exact shade of (“fig” or plum or aubergine or whatever you choose to call it) deep purple that I am currently redoing my bedroom in. It was a teense more than I’d planned to spend on this project. But I was in a splurgey mood so I went for it. I can honesty say that I’d happily pay twice as much. It’s much more beautiful and much more insanely soft than it looks in the pictures. While I don’t know how the blanket feels about me, I can assure you that I am madly in love with this gorgeous thing! I can’t wait for it to cool off in Southern California so I can roll myself up in it. Maybe I’ll crank the A/C down to 50 degrees and pretend there are more than two seasons (summer and late summer) in California. Anyway, this would make a great gift. It would make a great gift for yourself. Self care is important! Spoil yourself! You, at the very least, deserve a cozy cuddly blanket. I’m certain that this luxurious blanket will cure insomnia. Maybe even depression. I’ve owned it for like 2 hours and I have a whole new outlook on life! I feel pampered, spoiled, like queen of the world, maybe even like Cleopatra! I think that it should be obvious by now that I’m giving this furry looking blanket two thumbs way way up! Sometimes I order things from Amazon and by the time they arrive Ive already forgotten about them. I was anxiously awaiting my blanket friends arrival and I was prepared to be very meh. Not this time! Nope! Best purchase ever! I know what I’m getting everyone for Christmas! Buy several for future use. This blanket has made me deliriously happy! Update: After owning this blanket for, like, a while, I still love it. Shockingly it washes up beautifully! A word of advice. Fabric softener is a big no no. It gets the fur gummy and feeling like unwashed hair after a month. I imagine. I’ve personally never gone with unwashed hair for more than a day or two. It is at its fluffy and soft best when you use one of those new Downey rinses instead. That seems to remove all residue and it comes out feeling even better than brand new. A word of warning. Do not picnic on this blanket. The fur will encase and preserve your crumbs better than Tupperware. You may find a lost treasure that you don’t actually want in there. Best used for sleeping only.

This blanket is wonderful. I'm not sure if it will last or wash well but it's amazing right now. I was looking for something that had a sort of grey color that would go with my new sheets that are grey but still blend with my comforter which has more blue tones in it. This worked great as far as the color. I took some pictures and my dog is in them because as soon as I put it on the bed she jumped up and was like "oh thanks Mom ...I love this" That is how soft and luxurious this feels. Others said theirs was shedding. I took mine out of the bag and shook and no shedding. I did have trouble getting it out of the plastic and cut a few pieces with the scissors but once I got it started I just pulled to rip the plastic. I took one pic so you could see the back. I would say it's like a fuzzy microfiber and the color is identical. It's just te right thickness. I love the design. It's warm to lay under but also has a warm look. It was a good value at just under $30. I know some people said it did not wash well but I'll be super careful when I wash it and even though it says hang dry I might tumble on a very low or cool dryer so that it does not mat. If it's a disaster I'll come back to report but prob wont wash it for a few months. Oh and no weird smells out of the bag so that was a plus for me since I have chemical sensitivities.

Washing a Frye Faux Fur Throw
- 1
Read the tag in the seam first
Frye uses several fabric constructions and the washing instructions travel with the model, not with the brand name. What is sewn into your throw beats a spec sheet, a retailer page and this one.
- 2
Give it room to move
High-pile synthetic fabric has to tumble. Packing a 4 lb throw into an undersized drum compresses the pile and cancels out the gentle cycle you selected for it. A laundromat machine costs a few dollars and solves the problem outright.
- 3
Cold water, gentle cycle, on its own
Wash it by itself. Zippers, hooks and denim rivets all catch long pile, and a bath towel loaded in alongside will shed lint straight into the fur where it stays.
- 4
Leave the fabric softener out
Softener coats synthetic fibers and leaves the pile flat and faintly tacky. Plain water or a rinse product keeps the fur closer to how it felt coming out of the bag.
- 5
Dry low, or skip the dryer
Heat is what mats and melts polyester pile. Low tumble works and so does air drying over a rail. Shake the throw out once it is dry and the fibers stand back up on their own.
- 6
Wash it less often than you think
Shaking it out and airing it handles most of what a week of use puts into a throw. Treating a spill the day it lands saves a full cycle, and every cycle skipped is pile that lasts longer.
Some faux fur releases a few loose fibers on the first shake out of the bag. That settles quickly. Shedding that carries on through several washes usually points at dryer heat rather than a defective batch.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means the textile was tested against that program limits for harmful substances. It says nothing about organic content or natural fiber, and this throw contains neither.
Storage does more damage than washing. Folded loosely in a closet, the pile recovers between uses. Crushed under heavy bedding for a whole season, it holds the crease.
About Frye
John A. Frye opened a shop on Elm Street in Marlboro, Massachusetts in March 1863. The first Frye boot dates to 1888 and the Marlboro Historical Society still keeps it. For most of the years since, the name has meant American leather footwear built around visible construction and materials that age rather than fall apart.
Home textiles ask for different materials entirely. A polyester throw shares no manufacturing process with a harness boot. What carries across is how the products get judged: by the way a surface feels in the hand, whether the proportions suit real use, and whether the color still works in a room two years later.
The current home range reaches past blankets into bedding and sheets, and what any single retailer carries changes through the year. Texture is the thread running through all of the blankets. Some use long synthetic pile, others a shorter plush or an acrylic blend built to read as mohair, and reversible construction turns up again and again.
The limits deserve saying plainly. These are home throws. They are not mattress blankets, not outdoor gear and not temperature-rated bedding. A 50 x 70 Bubble throw does its job when it is treated as what it is, which is a substantial personal blanket with a pronounced faux fur surface that also happens to look good folded over the arm of a couch.
Frye Blanket FAQ
A Frye blanket is a home textile sold under the Frye name, a brand known since 1863 for American leather footwear. The blanket range covers faux fur, faux rabbit fur and faux mohair throws across several sizes and constructions. All of them are personal throws and decorative layers rather than full-size mattress blankets. The name comes from founder John A. Frye and is often typed as Fyre.
Polyester, on both sides. The front is a dense faux rabbit fur texture with a raised bubble pattern. Turn it over for a shorter, smoother micro mink surface. Despite the name, the blanket contains no real rabbit fur.
It measures 50 x 70 inches, or roughly 127 x 178 cm. That covers one person comfortably on a sofa and falls short of a standard bed blanket. It also works folded across the foot of a bed or draped over a chair.
Yes. One side carries the textured faux rabbit fur surface. The other is a smooth plush. Either side can face the body, so flip it depending on which texture feels better at the time.
Tan, Grey, Ivory and Fig. All four share the same 50 x 70-inch construction. Availability changes between retailers and seasons, so a color listed on one site may be sold out on another.
No. Frye faux fur blankets use synthetic fibers engineered to reproduce the softness and visual depth of animal fur without any fur in them. The Bubble Rabbit Faux Fur Throw is made from polyester rather than rabbit fur.
Many are, the Bubble Rabbit Faux Fur Throw included. Care instructions vary between models, so follow the label sewn into the seam. Use a washer large enough for the blanket to move freely. That matters most with thick high-pile faux fur.
Size and density. The Bubble Rabbit Faux Fur Throw measures 50 x 70 inches with a raised bubble-style faux rabbit surface. The Frye Luxe Faux Fur Throw is typically 60 x 70 inches and uses a heavier high-pile construction. Some Luxe models are listed at 1150 GSM, which makes them considerably denser than a lightweight throw.
GSM means grams per square meter and measures how much the fabric weighs across a fixed area. A higher number generally indicates a denser, more substantial textile. It is not a temperature or warmth rating. An 1150 GSM Frye Luxe throw simply contains more textile mass per square meter than an 830 GSM Arctic Luxe.
Yes, as a supplementary layer rather than the primary bed blanket. A 50 x 70-inch throw covers the lower section of a bed. A 60 x 70-inch model reaches further across it. Neither size replaces a queen or king comforter.
Selected models are, including the Bubble Rabbit Faux Fur Throw and certain faux mohair styles. The certification means the textile was tested against OEKO-TEX limits for harmful substances. It does not mean the blanket is organic or made from natural fibers.
A throw designed to reproduce the soft, slightly fuzzy character of mohair without using mohair fiber. The Chevron Faux Mohair Throw uses an acrylic and polyester blend instead. Its surface is flatter and more fabric-like than the deep pile on Frye faux fur designs.
The Frye Company traces its history to 1863, when John A. Frye opened a shop in Marlboro, Massachusetts. Frye became known primarily for leather footwear, especially boots, long before the name expanded into other categories. The first Frye boot dates to the late nineteenth century.
No. Boots remain central to what the name means, and it now appears across footwear, accessories and home textiles including bedding and blankets. Frye home collections use materials suited to textiles rather than the leather behind the footwear.
Choose by size, surface and fabric density rather than by the collection name. The 50 x 70-inch Bubble Rabbit Throw has the most pronounced raised faux fur texture. The 60 x 70-inch Luxe models give more width and a heavier build. The Chevron Faux Mohair Throw is lighter and less fur-like. Check the complete model name before ordering. Frye blankets sold under similar descriptions differ substantially in dimensions, fiber content and care requirements.
Choose by the Numbers, Not the Collection Name
Fifty by seventy inches covers one person on a couch and folds down small enough to live on an armchair. Sixty by seventy is the size to reach for when two people share it. Tan and Grey sit in the background of a room. Fig does not, and that is the whole reason to pick it.
