Name: Loire Ink

SKU: LOIRE

Loire Ink is a restrained, deep navy plain with a cool, softly heathered look across the weave. The surface reads matte and tightly woven, giving the colour a tailored, understated finish.

About this fabric

Woven in India from 70% cotton and 30% linen, Loire Ink combines a natural handle with the steadiness needed for light domestic upholstery, drapes and blinds. The 142cm width and 18,000 rub test make it a practical choice for coordinated seating and window treatments. Visually, this colourway sits in a dense blue-black navy rather than a bright blue, with subtle lighter threads lifting the surface and softening the depth. The plain style and visible cross-weave give it a clean, contemporary texture that feels smart without looking glossy.

How to use it

Use Loire Ink where you want a grounded dark tone that still feels textile-rich, such as tailored cushions, a bench seat or relaxed interlining curtains. It pairs especially well with warm oak, stone, brass and crisp off-white.

A versatile dark blue that feels tailored and easy to pair with pale woods, chalky neutrals or polished metal.

Pairs well with

Loire Ink 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.
