Chambray Bretton Blue shows a cool, denim-like blue with a fine herringbone weave that reads softly mottled across the surface. The pattern has a small, tailored rhythm that gives the cloth a relaxed but orderly feel.

About this fabric

This colourway pairs a muted mid-blue ground with darker flecks in the weave, creating a chambray effect that feels calm rather than bright. The small chevron-like pattern is visible throughout, adding movement without overwhelming the surface. With a composition of 47% polyester, 46% BCI cotton and 7% linen, and a Martindale rating of 30,000, it is specified for heavy domestic use and has enough resilience for everyday seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available upon request, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ.

How to use it

Use this blue on an upholstered armchair, banquette or ottoman where the fine weave can be seen up close. Its cool, understated tone sits neatly with pale oak, white-painted joinery and deeper navy accents.

A cool, quietly textured blue that works well on tailored seating or soft bench pieces.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chambray Bretton Blue without fighting it. 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.
