Genoa Aubergine is a quietly refined silk with a soft aubergine cast and a fine, almost pinstriped surface. The colour reads restrained rather than bold, with a gentle sheen that lifts the weave.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk, this Genoa colourway has a delicate vertical striation that gives the surface movement without introducing a strong pattern. The 138cm width and Q 8 + T 3 care code make it a considered decorative textile for elegant interiors, while the √BM fire code adds practical specification detail. Visually, the shade sits between plum and brown, creating a muted aubergine that feels deeper in the folds and lighter where the silk catches the light. Its fine texture and subtle lustre suit schemes that need richness without glossiness.

How to use it

Pair this dusky aubergine with warm timber, aged brass and parchment neutrals to let the colour feel layered rather than severe. It works especially well in drawn curtains, blinds or accent upholstery where the silk’s soft depth can be appreciated close up.

Use for tailored curtains or light upholstery where the silk’s subtle sheen can enrich the room.

Pairs well with

Genoa Aubergine 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.
