Cabris II FabricM4018-24

Cabris Ecume reads as a soft chalk white, with a quietly textured linen surface and a fresh, airy feel. The weave is fine and understated, letting the colour and natural slub of the cloth do the work.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Cabris Ecume has a crisp, breathable handle and a lightly textured plain appearance that feels relaxed rather than stark. The colour is a gentle off-white with a warm, chalky cast, so it sits softly in the light rather than flashing bright. With an approximate width of 132cm and no visible repeat, it is an easy choice for tailored curtains, Roman blinds, or clean-lined upholstery. The overall effect is calm and refined, with the natural linen texture giving the white tone depth and character.

How to use it

Use this pale white linen to soften darker timber, stone, or painted joinery, where its quiet texture adds brightness without looking cold. It is especially effective in coastal, minimalist, or classic schemes that need a light but not clinical finish.

A clean linen white that works beautifully in calm, pared-back schemes.

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.
