About this fabric

Alpaca Alto Aubergine is shown as an almost black aubergine, with a faint plum cast visible where the surface catches light. The close, even velvet face has a low, soft-looking nap rather than a visible motif or pattern, giving the swatch a dense and quietly lustrous appearance. No performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this near-black aubergine on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its deep plum tone can create a dramatic, enveloping effect. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass or pale neutrals to keep the velvet's depth from feeling flat.

Its near-black aubergine depth brings a luxe, cocooning note to upholstered seating.

Alpaca Alto 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.
