Name: Coquette Silverbirch
Brand: Mark Alexander

Coquette Silverbirch is a pale silvery-grey textile with a pronounced, tactile weave. Its softly reflective surface shifts between cool grey and warm ivory as the folded cloth catches the light.

About this fabric

The fabric is formed from closely spaced vertical ribs crossed by irregular horizontal yarns, creating a finely gridded surface rather than a printed motif. Its pale silverbirch tone remains muted and airy, while the raised threads add subtle shadow and depth across the cloth. The visible body and flexible fold make it a versatile choice for both upholstery and drapery, particularly where texture matters more than strong colour.

How to use it

Use this cool, silvery neutral to soften charcoal, stone and deep timber interiors, or pair it with warm ivory to bring out the lighter threads. Its restrained woven texture would suit a gently tailored chair, cushion or relaxed curtain.

A pale, tactile woven neutral that brings quiet texture to upholstery, cushions or softly structured window treatments.

Pairs well with

Coquette Silverbirch 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.
