About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and supplied at 140cm wide, this Heritage Panama colourway has a plain finish with a subtle cloth texture rather than a printed effect. The French blue reads as deep and slightly muted, with a cool navy undertone that softens the overall look. Light picks up the weave gently, so the surface feels lived-in and tactile rather than glossy. With no repeat to worry about, it is an easy choice for clean upholstery covers or simple curtain drops. Care instructions: AQV1<.

How to use it

Use this deep French blue to ground a scheme with pale oak, chalky whites or brushed brass. It is especially effective on tailored upholstery and relaxed drapery where the colour can read clearly in natural light.

A versatile cotton in a rich blue that works neatly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Heritage Panama French Blue 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.
