About this fabric

The moleskin colour sits between dusty terracotta and warm brown, with a softened, earthy quality rather than a bright red or orange cast. No pattern interrupts the surface; instead, the short velvet pile creates gentle tonal variation across the swatch. Made from 12% cotton, 17% acrylic and 71% polyester, this 140cm-wide fabric is graded for Contract and General Domestic use. It is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery, with care listed as Delicate Wash at 30°C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use this clay-brown colourway to warm a neutral scheme, particularly on a reading chair, dining seat or upholstered headboard. As a curtain velvet, it adds grounded colour without the visual intensity of a saturated terracotta.

A softly muted clay-brown velvet that brings warmth and depth to upholstered seating, headboards and tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Tango Velvet Moleskin 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.
