About this fabric

Part of the Olympia collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is made from 100% polyester and is designed for contract use. It carries a 40,000 Martindale rating and is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. Visually, the cloth reads as a saturated purple with cool berry undertones and a slightly heathered effect across the weave. The texture appears tight and low-profile, which helps the colour look even and tailored rather than glossy or plush. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this amethyst shade to add depth to banquettes, dining chairs or occasional seating where you want colour without pattern. It pairs well with pale neutrals, smoked woods and brass accents, and its cool purple tone works especially well in refined, evening-focused interiors.

A rich purple plain with a practical contract finish for tailored upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Olympia 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.
