About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm mink brown, with tonal variation across the pile that gives the surface depth rather than a flat solid appearance. The nap catches the light in a softer, slightly mottled way, bringing out pale taupe highlights against the deeper brown ground. Made from 100% polyester and measuring 140cm wide, it is a practical plain fabric with no pattern repeat to work around. Its smooth, touchable look makes it especially suited to upholstery where a richer neutral is needed.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, headboard or ottoman to bring a grounded, tailored feel to a room. Pair with chalky neutrals, dark timber and aged brass for a calm, smart scheme.

A versatile mink tone that adds warmth without overpowering a scheme.

Naples FR Mink 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.
