Provence Velvet

Pure Velvet Thistle is a softly lit mauve velvet with a calm, even surface and a faint plush sheen. The colour sits between pink and lilac, giving it a gentle thistle tone rather than a stronger purple.

About this fabric

This velvet from the Provence collection is woven in 100% recycled polyester and has a 140cm width with no pattern repeat, making it an easy plain for cutting and matching. In this colourway, the pile reads as a muted thistle mauve with a cool-leaning softness, and the light catches it in subtle shifts rather than high contrast. The finish looks smooth and closely brushed, with just enough depth to keep the shade from feeling flat. Care code NQT1< is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a curved armchair, ottoman, or headboard where the soft mauve tone can read as refined without becoming heavy. It also works well beside pale oak, chalk white, or deeper plum accents for a layered, romantic scheme.

A gentle mauve velvet that adds quiet depth to tailored upholstery or elegant drapery.

Pairs well with

Pure Velvet Thistle 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.
