Panthera Navy brings a small-scale leopard motif to a cool, softly weathered navy ground. The print reads crisp and tailored, with the darker spots giving the surface a steady, graphic rhythm.

About this fabric

Woven in 51% cotton and 49% linen, this fabric has the dry, natural hand you expect from a linen-rich cloth, while the 140cm approximate width makes it practical for made-to-measure schemes. The repeat is approximately V 17cm and H 35cm, creating a compact animal pattern that sits neatly across larger upholstered pieces or window treatments. In this colourway, the navy base feels muted rather than bright, so the motif lands with a refined contrast instead of a high-fashion flash. The overall effect is smart and versatile, with enough texture and depth to keep the print from feeling flat.

How to use it

Use it to add quiet edge to a sofa, armchair or blind where the navy ground can sit among oak, chalky neutrals and worn brass. It also works well with pale paint and layered natural textures, which let the pattern stay crisp without overpowering the room.

A cool navy leopard that feels tailored and versatile across cushions, curtains or light upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Panthera Navy without fighting it. 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.
