Cousu Ecru

Cousu Ecru has a softly dimensional, ribbon-like appearance, with pale ecru yarns forming a ribbed edge around a looser woven centre. The light neutral tone gives the photographed textile a warm, understated presence.

About this fabric

The photographed piece is a pale ecru woven band with raised looped motifs arranged along its central ground. Ribbed edging gives the textile a defined outline, while the irregular woven centre adds gentle relief and catches the light unevenly. Its warm cream tone reads softer than a stark white, with subtle depth created by the mix of open and compact weave. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Cousu Ecru as a refined upholstered detail where its warm cream tone can soften deeper wood, taupe or natural linen schemes. Its raised loops and ribbed edges are especially suited to a carefully finished chair, headboard or decorative panel.

Use this warm ecru woven trim to bring quiet texture and softly defined detail to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Cousu Ecru 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.
