Albany Mocha

Albany and Moray FabricCCF0234-21

Albany Mocha has a quiet, earthy depth, blending warm mocha brown with a soft taupe-grey cast. Its close-up surface reveals a fine crosswoven texture that gives the plain colour gentle visual movement.

About this fabric

This substantial plain weave weighs 517gsm, giving the fabric a dense, upholstery-suitable handle. The visible colour sits between muted mocha and taupe, with cooler grey threads lightly tempering the warm brown base rather than creating a flat block of colour. Fine horizontal and vertical threads form a subtle crosshatched texture, while the surface remains free from a printed motif. It has a usable width of 139cm, a standard length of 40m, and zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat.

How to use it

Use Albany Mocha on a sofa, armchair or footstool where its softly weathered taupe-brown tone can anchor creams, warm whites, aged timber and darker walnut. The restrained texture also works well with brushed metal and layered neutral textiles.

A substantial mocha-taupe plain weave with a softly crosshatched surface, well suited to upholstered seating and tailored furniture.

Pairs well with

Albany Mocha 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.
