Polo Berry

Name: Polo Berry
Brand: Mark Alexander

Polo Berry is a richly shaded woven textile, with closely spaced vertical lines moving between dusky berry, brown, rust and cool blue-grey. The narrow striping gives the surface a quiet, finely textured rhythm rather than a bold graphic effect.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a deep berry-brown overall, with cooler blue-grey threads and restrained rust accents adding visible depth through the stripe. The close-set vertical lines are fine and irregular enough to create a softly variegated surface, while the compact weave keeps the pattern looking precise. In brighter areas of the swatch, the lighter threads pick out the stripe structure; in darker areas, the berry and brown tones settle into a more grounded, moody field. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Polo Berry where a room needs a warm, subdued dark neutral with more colour nuance than plain brown. Its slim vertical striping would suit a tailored chair, footstool or understated curtain, especially alongside warm timber and muted blue-grey accents.

Its narrow vertical striping and dusky berry-brown depth bring subtle rhythm to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

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