About this fabric

The swatch is a dense plain velvet in a very dark olive green, with the pile catching light softly rather than creating a bright sheen. Its colour moves between muted moss, olive and near-black brown depending on the direction of the nap, giving the surface visible depth without a motif. The supplied catalogue identifies it as Velvet, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Alpaca Alto Olive on a sofa, lounge chair or headboard where its deep olive tone can anchor warm wood, aged brass and softly lit rooms. Keep surrounding textiles lighter or more tactile to show the subtle movement in the velvet pile.

Use this near-black olive velvet to bring depth and a quietly luxurious finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Alpaca Alto Olive 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.
