Finding the perfect throw is rarely straightforward. The right design might exist, but not in the size you need. The right colour might be available, but not in the pile length that suits your room. At Katrina Hampton, we have built our make to order service around exactly this problem: the recognition that a truly considered home deserves a throw that fits it properly, not one that almost does.
Our make to order faux fur throw service gives you access to an extensive catalogue of designs that we do not keep in stock as finished products, as well as the flexibility to choose your own backing colour from a range of over 40 options. Here is everything you need to know.
What Is a Make to Order Faux Fur Throw?
A make to order throw, or MTO, is a product that is not held in stock as a finished item. Instead of buying something off the shelf, your order triggers the entire production process: the fabric is transported from our warehouse to our makers, inspected, cut, sewn and finished specifically for you.
The result is a throw that has been made to your requirements, in the design and backing colour you have chosen, without compromise. It takes a little longer to reach you than a standard in-stock order, but for customers who know exactly what they want, it is the only way to get it.
Why Do We Offer Make to Order?
Our faux fur fabric catalogue is extensive. With such a wide variety of designs available, keeping every combination made up and in stock at all times is simply not practical. Rather than reduce the range to only what we can hold in quantity, we take a different approach: we hold the fabric, and we make up each item when an order comes in.
This allows us to offer a far greater variety of designs than most brands in our category, without the waste that comes from producing large volumes of products that may not find the right home. It is a more considered way of operating, and one that allows our interior design customers in particular to work with the flexibility and choice they need.
If you see MTO next to a product on our site, that simply means your order will be made specifically for you.
How Does the Make to Order Process Work?
Once your order is received, we transport the fabric from our warehouse to our factory in the North of England. The fabric is inspected on arrival, your order is placed in the production queue to be cut, and then moves to the sewing queue to be made up. Once sewn, the finished throw is inspected again, hand finished and packed, ready to be shipped directly to you.
Every step of that process is carried out by the same skilled artisans who make our full in-stock range. The standard of finish, the quality of the materials, the care taken at each stage: none of that changes because your throw is make to order rather than pulled from a shelf.
Can I Choose My Own Backing Colour?
Yes, and this is one of the features our customers value most. For make to order products, we list the closest standard faux suede backing colour as a default, but if you prefer something different, you can choose from our range of over 40 backing colours instead.
For those who like to be individual, or for interior designers working to a specific colour palette, this is a genuinely useful level of flexibility. A striking contrast backing can transform the character of a throw entirely, and the ability to specify your own gives you a product that is, in every meaningful sense, made for you.

How Long Does a Make to Order Throw Take?
Make to order products take longer to arrive than standard in-stock items, and it is worth planning for that. Our current lead time for make to order throws is approximately three weeks from the point of order.
The production process involves several stages: fabric transport, inspection, cutting, sewing, finishing and packing. Each stage takes time, and each is carried out with care.
We will always indicate clearly on the product listing if an item is make to order, and we keep customers informed throughout the process. If you have a specific deadline in mind, get in touch before ordering and we will let you know whether it is achievable.
Who Uses the Make to Order Service?
Our make to order service is popular across a range of customers. Individual buyers who have seen a specific design and want it in a particular size or backing colour. Homeowners who are styling a room and need something that works precisely with their existing palette. And interior designers, who represent a significant part of our MTO customer base, and who appreciate the flexibility to specify exactly what a project requires.
We also offer a white label and own branding option for trade customers, with low minimum order quantities. If you are interested in discussing a trade or bespoke order, our team is happy to help.

What is a make to order faux fur throw?
A make to order faux fur throw is produced specifically for you when your order is placed, rather than being picked from existing stock.

The result is a throw made to your exact requirements, in the design and backing colour you have chosen.

Yes. For make to order products, we list a default faux suede backing colour, but you can choose from our range of over 40 backing colours if you prefer something different.

Yes. If you would like your throw in a size that differs from our standard options, please get in touch for a quote. Our make to order service is designed to offer flexibility, and we are happy to discuss custom sizing requirements to ensure the finished throw works exactly as you need it to.
