Bibi Fabric

Rubia Rust brings a warm, sun-baked character to the Bibi collection, with terracotta botanical motifs set against a creamy linen ground. Navy-blue linework outlines the paisley and floral forms, giving the colourway definition without cooling its overall warmth.

About this fabric

The design combines large scalloped flowers, paisley shapes and smaller scattered petals in rust-like terracotta, cream and deep navy. Its visible linen texture gives the printed surface a softly irregular, tactile finish rather than a flat, uniform appearance. Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, it is supplied for curtains and fixed upholstery in a General Domestic grade. Allow 3% shrinkage; aftercare is a delicate wash at 30°C or dry cleaning, and it should not be tumble dried.

How to use it

Pair Rubia Rust with chalky creams, warm timber and natural woven textures to emphasise its earthy terracotta ground. Pick up the navy outlines in piping, cushions or painted furniture for a more considered scheme.

Use the warm terracotta ground to bring energy to curtains or relaxed domestic upholstery, with navy accents echoed elsewhere in the room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rubia Rust 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.
