Amalfi Mauve has a softly weathered, dusty mauve surface with a fine woven texture visible across the swatch. Its muted purple tone shifts gently between cool grey and mauve as the light catches the weave.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke fabric weighs 370gsm, giving the close-set weave a substantial, upholstery-suitable handle. The surface is plain rather than patterned, but fine horizontal and vertical threads create a subtle crosshatched effect and restrained tonal depth. The mauve colour is softened with a grey cast, avoiding a bright or sugary purple and giving the swatch a calm, quietly vintage character. With a 137cm usable width, a 40m standard length and no listed horizontal or vertical pattern repeat, it offers straightforward cutting for upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use Amalfi Mauve on a statement armchair, headboard or compact sofa where its cool, greyed-purple tone can sit against warm ivory, mushroom, pale timber or aged brass. The lightly textured plain weave adds depth without introducing a competing motif.

Use this cool dusty mauve weave to soften upholstery alongside pale wood, chalky neutrals and brushed metal.

Pairs well with

Amalfi Mauve 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.
