Shimla Dove
What's New Fabric
Shimla Dove shows a delicate leaf trail pattern in a soft dove taupe ground, lifted with pale ivory detailing. The overall effect is calm and textured, with just enough contrast to keep the design defined.

About this fabric
Woven in a 140cm width, Shimla Dove combines 82% polyester, 11% cotton and 7% linen for a practical fabric with a natural-looking handle. The repeating leaf motif is arranged in a gentle trailing layout, with the warm taupe background offset by small cream-toned leaves that catch the light. Its 15.5cm vertical and 19.5cm horizontal repeat gives the design a measured rhythm that reads neatly across larger surfaces. The palette feels muted rather than stark, so the pattern sits softly in the cloth instead of shouting for attention. Care instructions are NQT1<.
How to use it
Use this dove taupe colourway on a tailored armchair, bench seat or loose-cover piece where the pale leaf motif can read clearly. It also makes a serene curtain fabric in rooms with stone, oak or chalk-white finishes.
A quietly tailored neutral that works beautifully across upholstery and relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with
Shimla Dove 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.
