About this fabric
This Cayman colourway is a plain fabric in 100% polyester, designed for general domestic use and tested to 25,000 Martindale, making it suitable for everyday upholstered pieces. The swatch shows a deep, near-black amethyst with burgundy-plum warmth and a lightly textured weave that catches the light in faint streaks. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it also offers a practical domestic performance profile, with machine wash at 30℃ or professional dry clean in situ noted for after care. Its dark tone gives it a cocooning, low-sheen finish that feels richer and moodier than a standard purple.
How to use it
Use this shade on a clean-lined sofa, dining chairs, or a headboard where the dark plum depth can anchor the room. It pairs especially well with walnut, brass, warm neutrals, and soft greys to keep the colour looking luxe rather than heavy.
Best for tailored upholstery where a rich, dark plum tone adds depth without shouting.

Pairs well with
Cayman Amethyst 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.
