Flanders Heritage

Flanders Heritage is shown here as a near-black olive textile with a quiet, finely woven surface. Its restrained colour shifts subtly between charcoal and deep green as the light moves across the swatch.

About this fabric

The close, even weave gives this plain fabric a gently tactile appearance without a visible motif or pronounced pattern. Its deep olive tone is softened by charcoal undertones, creating a shaded, earthy colour rather than a bright green. Fine tonal variation across the surface prevents the dark colour from appearing completely flat. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its suitability should be considered alongside the intended application and project requirements.

How to use it

Use this deep olive-charcoal colourway where a room needs grounded contrast without the hardness of true black: it would suit tailored upholstery, simple curtains or cushions paired with warm timber, aged brass and muted neutrals.

Its deep olive-charcoal tone brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and tailored soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Flanders Heritage 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.
