Caribou Mole

Name: Caribou Mole
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: CARIBOU

Caribou Mole presents the Eden Collection’s conversational leaf damask in a soft, warm taupe ground with a lighter, chalky pattern. The repeated motif feels quietly ornate, giving the swatch a calm, tailored look rather than a high-contrast one.

About this fabric

Woven in India from 80% recycled polyester and 20% polyester, this fabric is specified for drapes only and has a substantial weight of 343 grams per linear metre, or 245 grams per square metre. The 140 cm width makes it practical for curtain making, while the 12 cm vertical and horizontal repeat creates a regular, balanced lattice of leaf forms across the cloth. In Caribou Mole, the base reads as a grounded mole-brown taupe, with the motif lifted just enough in a pale beige tone to show the design clearly without becoming stark. The overall effect is muted, warm and smart, with the texture appearing smooth and tightly woven from the close-up swatch image.

How to use it

Use Caribou Mole for full-length curtains where you want pattern without brightness; the warm taupe base sits comfortably with oak, aged brass and textured neutrals. It also suits layered schemes with linen, leather and muted green accents, letting the leaf motif add detail from a distance.

A refined taupe leaf damask that gives drapes a warm, understated finish.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Caribou Mole without fighting it. 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.
