About this fabric

The closely packed textile has a dark, matte appearance, with tiny shifts between charcoal and slate grey revealing the woven structure. Its small-scale herringbone is understated rather than graphic, giving the fabric a neat, tailored character. The cool tone reads especially deep in shadow, while the raised diagonal threads catch just enough light to prevent the surface appearing flat. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Herringbone Slate on tailored upholstery where its cool charcoal-slate tone can anchor pale timber, chalky walls or softly contrasting neutral textiles. Its subtle weave adds depth without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool, dark slate weave with a quiet herringbone texture for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Herringbone Slate 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.
