Bourdon Stripe Navy

Name: Bourdon Stripe Navy
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4966-01

Bourdon Stripe Navy presents as a refined vertical stripe with a cool navy ground softened by pale pinstripes and a gently mottled weave. The effect is tailored but relaxed, with just enough texture to stop the pattern feeling sharp.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in a 54% viscose, 27% cotton, 16% linen and 3% polyamide blend, giving the stripe a softly structured handle and a lightly lustrous finish. The repeat is approximately V 10cm / H 9cm, and the 148cm width makes it practical for both upholstery and curtains. In this colourway, the navy reads more slate-like than inky, while the lighter yarns bring a chalky contrast that lifts the vertical stripe. The overall surface looks finely ribbed and tactile rather than flat, which suits the smart, quietly traditional feel of the design. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, dining chairs or full-height curtains where the soft navy can add definition without feeling heavy. It pairs especially well with pale oak, brushed brass and warm white paint, which let the lighter stripe detail stand out.

A crisp stripe with enough texture to suit tailored upholstery or elegant drapery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bourdon Stripe 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.
