About this fabric

The compact chevron lines create a tailored woven texture, while the mixed lilac, mauve and taupe-grey threads give the colourway a softly weathered appearance. Light catches the raised herringbone subtly, bringing out alternating cool purple and neutral flecks across the surface. Its restrained contrast makes the pattern read as texture from a distance, with the herringbone becoming clearer close up. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this muted lilac colourway on a structured armchair, dining seat or tailored sofa, pairing it with warm taupe, chalky neutrals and aged timber. Its cool purple cast also works well with soft grey and brushed metal accents.

Pairs well with

Herringbone - Lilac 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.
