Marsa Noir

Marsa Noir is a dark, quietly textured cloth with a charcoal-black ground and fine tonal flecks running through the surface. The finish reads crisp and contemporary rather than glossy, giving the colourway a restrained, shadowy depth.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a near-black base softened by cool charcoal and graphite striations, so the surface feels variegated rather than flat. The textured weave is visible across the full width, giving the fabric a dry, tactile look that suits the Starlette Collection’s understated style. Made from 100% polyester and specified for drapes only, it is a practical choice for window treatments where a darker, moodier finish is needed. At 140cm wide, with a 28cm vertical repeat and 23.5cm horizontal repeat, the pattern has enough scale to register clearly while still reading as a subtle texture. With a weight of 252 grams per linear metre / 180 gsm, it has a substantial curtain presence without appearing heavy.

How to use it

Use Marsa Noir for tailored curtains, wave headers or full-height drapes in contemporary schemes where a deep neutral is needed. It pairs especially well with pale plaster, concrete, smoke grey or warm timber, letting the fabric's charcoal sheen add contrast.

A dark, refined drape fabric that adds depth without stealing the room's focus.

Pairs well with

Marsa Noir 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.
