About this fabric

This colourway shows a dense plain weave with a soft, lightly brushed appearance that catches the light in a subtle, matte way. Mythica is a 100% polyester fabric with a 40,000 Martindale rub test and General Domestic usage, making it a practical choice for everyday interiors. The olive shade is muted and tonal rather than bright, sitting between moss and khaki for a calm, natural look. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it can also be specified with other treatments upon request. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care details in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Mythica Olive on a sofa or banquette where its muted green depth can soften warm woods, leather and aged brass. It also works well in rooms with natural linens and stone, where the colour adds quiet contrast without feeling sharp.

A grounded olive with a softly brushed look, ideal for calm, tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Mythica 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.
