About this fabric

Made from 100% Pure New Wool, Balvenie Foss Russet has a compact herringbone weave that creates subtle directional bands across the 137cm width. The colour sits between russet red and earthy brown, with darker threads tempering its warmth rather than making it appear bright or saturated. Its closely textured surface is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a General Domestic upholstery grade. This fabric is supplied for dry clean after-care.

How to use it

Use Foss Russet to add grounded warmth to a sitting room through tailored curtains or a structured upholstered chair. Pair its earthy red-brown tone with aged timber, warm neutrals and muted olive accents.

The warm russet herringbone brings understated colour and fine woven texture to curtains, fixed upholstery and relaxed traditional interiors.

Pairs well with

Foss Russet 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.
