Brand: Moons

Misc Fabric

1298/BR39 has a close, fine herringbone weave that reads as a muted brown-taupe from a short distance. Subtle mauve and plum undertones emerge through the darker ground, giving the surface a softly variegated appearance.

About this fabric

The small directional weave creates a consistent chevron texture across the swatch, with alternating threads catching the light gently rather than appearing flat. Its brown base is cooled by smoky mauve and plum flecks, producing a restrained, layered colour with noticeable depth. The compact woven surface makes this colourway read as a suitable upholstery fabric, particularly where a quiet pattern is preferred over a bold motif. It is catalogued as Fabric 1298/BR39 in the Misc collection (Moons), with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Pair this brown-mauve taupe with warm timber, smoked oak and chalky neutrals for a calm, tailored scheme. On a chair, bench or sofa, its fine herringbone adds interest without competing with stronger patterned cushions.

Use this muted mauve-taupe herringbone to bring quiet texture and depth to upholstered seating.

1298/BR39 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.
