About Brun de Vian-Tiran

Eight generations of blanket makers in L'Isle-sur-Sorgue, France. In 1808, Charles Tiran & Laurent Vian set up a mill on the banks of the Sorgue River to prepare woollen cloth and blankets.

The company is now managed by father and son, Pierre and Jean-Louis Brun. Among highlights in the recent decades were the creation of the first Mohair blanket in 1961, which has become the company's emblem - often imitated, but never equalled.

Their unending quest for noble fibres means the range includes Alpaca, Camel, Llama, Cashmere and exceptionally rare fibres such as Cashgora and Yangir.

All About the Empreintes Great Throw

The Light & Fluid Throw

An exclusivity of Brun de Vian-Tiran, the Mérinos d’Arles Antique® is the finest wool found in the northern hemisphere. It is the result of over thirty years of close partnership with the best Merino sheep breeders in the South of France. This wool is unique; its full expression is brought out in a structured weave whose graphic pattern adds character to your home decor. The floating threads add volume while preserving their lightness and fluidity.

Elegant taffeta precedes short strands of the fringe.

Empreintes is available in two sizes - standard throw blankets measuring a generous 59 x 79" or great throw blankets, which are oversized square blankets measuring 102 x 102". This size is wider than a standard king blanket (95").

Care Instructions

It is recommended that this item be dry cleaned. Keep in mind that natural animal fibres remain odour-free and hygienic for many years, requiring minimal cleaning. This is because natural fibres do not absorb fats and oils in the way that synthetic fibres do.

Most Brun de Vian-Tiran blankets and throws may also be laundered by filling a bathtub with cool water and a specialty detergent such as Eucalan Fine Fabric Wash. Then, drain the tub and refill it with cool water once more. Remove the blanket, and then gently roll inside an absorbent bath towel to remove excess moisture. Finally, hang to air dry completely.
