Austen Riviera
Darwin Collection FabricAUSTEN
Austen Riviera shows a deep slate-blue surface with a quiet, finely striated texture that gives the plain a gentle sense of movement. The tone reads cool, grounded, and slightly smoky rather than bright or nautical.

About this fabric
Part of Ashley Wilde’s Darwin Collection, Austen Riviera is a plain fabric woven in 90% recycled polyester and 10% polyester. It is supplied as drapes only, with a 140cm width and a weight of 200gsm / 280g per linear metre, making it suitable for window dressing rather than upholstery. In this colourway, the blue is dark and muted with a slate cast, and the fine horizontal texture softens the surface so it catches light in narrow, subtle bands. The overall effect is smart and restrained, with enough depth to hold its own in contemporary or classic interiors.
How to use it
Use this deep blue to frame windows in a study, living room, or bedroom where a calm, tailored finish is wanted. It pairs especially well with pale stone, oak, and brushed metal accents to lift the cool slate tone.
A refined deep blue with a subtle linear texture, ideal for tailored curtains and layered schemes.

Pairs well with
Austen Riviera is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it
Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
