About this fabric

This colourway reads as a softened denim blue, with a cool, slightly greyed tone that keeps it calm rather than bright. Woven in 70% cotton and 30% linen, the surface has a dry, natural hand and a subtle linen texture that shows up clearly in the flat image. With a width of 142cm and an 18,000 rub test, it is suited to light domestic upholstery as well as drapes and blinds. At 483gsm and 340gsm, it has enough substance to hang neatly while still feeling easy and breathable.

How to use it

Use it for tailored sofa covers, occasional chairs or bench seating where the cool blue can sit alongside oak, chalk white and brushed metal. It also works well as a blind or curtain fabric in rooms that need a restrained, coastal-leaning colour.

A calm denim blue with a natural linen texture, ideal for clean upholstery or tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Loire Denim 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.
