Alie Graphite

Alie Graphite shows a neat, small-scale woven surface in a cool graphite grey. The overall effect is restrained and architectural, with a subtle textured finish that catches the light softly.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a steady graphite grey, cooler than charcoal and lifted by a faint silvery cast across the woven surface. The small pattern repeat of 2cm vertical and 1cm horizontal creates a finely ordered texture that sits neatly in the cloth rather than standing out as a bold motif. Made from 78% polyester and 22% cotton, with a width of 140cm and a weight of 257gsm, it is specified for drapes only and has no rub test noted. The weave has enough body to hang with presence while still looking clean and controlled, making the tone feel crisp rather than heavy.

How to use it

Use Alie Graphite for tailored full-length curtains, Roman blinds, or layered window treatments where a quiet, modern grey is needed. It pairs especially well with pale plaster, black accents, and warm timber for contrast.

A crisp graphite weave that brings clean depth to tailored curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Alie Graphite 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.
