Vintage Velvet Olive

Vintage Velvet Olive is a deep, earthy olive velvet with a softly mottled surface that shifts between moss, brown and charcoal as the pile catches the light. Its understated tonal variation gives the plain cloth a quietly aged, tactile character.

About this fabric

The rich olive shade leans warm and brown rather than bright green, while the short velvet pile creates darker and lighter brushed patches across the surface. Made from 95% polyester and 5% viscose, this fabric is 137 cm (53.82") wide. A 50,000 Martindale rub test makes it suitable for fixed upholstery, loose upholstery, curtains and bedspreads. Care is professional dry cleaning only; it must not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use this deep moss olive on a reading chair, sofa or upholstered headboard to create a grounded focal point, or carry it through full-length curtains for a darker, cocooning finish. Pair its brown-green depth with warm timber, aged brass and softly coloured neutrals.

Its deep moss olive tone brings low-key richness to upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Vintage Velvet 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.
