Heritage Panama Olive

Helix Fabric

Heritage Panama Olive has a calm, softly woven look with a low-contrast olive tone that reads more muted than vivid. The tight Panama-style texture gives the surface a subtle grain without adding pattern.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, this colourway suits both upholstery and drapery projects where a plain, steady finish is wanted. The olive shade is light and restrained, sitting close to a sage-olive neutral rather than a deep khaki, so it feels fresh rather than heavy. In the photo, the weave shows as a fine, even texture that catches the light gently across the surface. With no pattern repeat, it is an easy choice for larger runs where a clean, continuous look is important. Care instructions are listed as AQV1<.

How to use it

Use this muted olive to soften pale timber, limestone and off-white schemes, or pair it with deeper greens for a layered natural palette. It brings a gentle colour note to seating or curtains without overpowering the room.

A quiet olive that works as an easygoing neutral on both upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Heritage Panama 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.
