Glamour Fabric

Glamour Noir is a deep, smoky black with a soft, light-catching finish that gives the surface real depth. The swatch reads almost graphite in the highlights, with darker inky folds where the pile turns away from the light.

About this fabric

This colourway from Fryett's Fabrics' Glamour collection is made from 100% polyester and comes 140cm wide with a 0cm pattern repeat. The surface has a velvety, fluid look that creates gentle tonal shifts rather than a flat black, so the shade feels more charcoal than jet. In the image, the light glances across the pile to reveal a muted metallic softness, while the recesses sink into near-black shadow. That combination gives Glamour Noir a rich, contemporary finish suited to statement furniture and tactile accent pieces.

How to use it

Pair this smoky black with pale stone, warm brass or deep timber for a strong contrast that keeps the room feeling polished. It works especially well on curved seating or cushions where the sheen and drape can be seen from different angles.

Use for dramatic seating or cushions where the soft sheen can catch the light.

Glamour Noir 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.
