Heritage Aubergine

Misc Fabric

Heritage Aubergine is a deep, saturated purple with a subtle plum-red warmth that reads rich and quiet rather than bright. The plain cotton surface gives the colour a smooth, velvety-looking depth across the swatch.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, Heritage Aubergine has a plain finish with no pattern repeat, so the colour takes centre stage. In this colourway the tone sits between aubergine and dark plum, with a dusky quality that softens the stronger purple notes. The surface appears smooth and closely woven, helping the shade look even and substantial rather than shiny. Care instructions are listed as BQV1<, and the cloth’s straightforward construction makes it easy to picture on clean-lined upholstery or tailored curtains.

How to use it

Use this aubergine on a compact armchair, footstool or headboard where the dark plum tone can feel intimate and refined. It also works as dramatic drapery against pale walls, especially where you want the fabric’s depth to read in low light.

A rich dark purple that works well on statement seating or moody drapery accents.

Pairs well with

Heritage Aubergine 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.
