Vintage Indigo is a deep, cool indigo woven fabric with a softly varied surface. Fine lighter threads create a restrained crosshatch effect across the dark ground, giving the plain design visual depth.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a predominantly blue-black indigo tone, softened by delicate vertical and horizontal yarn variation rather than a printed motif. Its lightly slubbed, textile-like texture catches the light in narrow shifts, so the surface reads as quietly dimensional rather than flat. With no performance features noted in the supplied information, this colourway is best considered for its rich tone and understated woven character.

How to use it

Use Vintage Indigo to add cool, grounded depth to a room, particularly on a tailored chair, relaxed sofa or full-length curtain. Pair it with pale timber, chalky neutrals and muted blue accents to bring out its smoky indigo character.

A cool, dark indigo woven texture that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Vintage Indigo 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.
