Martello Grape has a rich, deep purple surface with subtle tonal variation across its finely woven texture. The close-up reveals a softly crosshatched structure rather than a printed motif, giving the colour quiet depth.

About this fabric

This 300gsm woven fabric is a saturated grape purple, with cooler plum notes visible where the light catches the slightly irregular surface. Fine vertical and horizontal threads create a restrained crosshatch that breaks up the solid colour without introducing a repeat pattern. With a usable width of 144cm, it offers a versatile mid-weight option for upholstery and drapery. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, so the textured plain can be positioned freely without matching.

How to use it

Use Martello Grape to give a reading chair, sofa or full-length curtain a confident plum focal point. Its deep, cool purple works especially well with smoked wood, charcoal, aged brass and muted neutrals.

The deep grape tone and softly crosshatched weave bring depth to upholstery, curtains and other tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Martello Grape 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.
