About this fabric

The swatch shows closely set, alternating threads forming a small herringbone pattern, with the weave clearly visible across the surface. Its umber tone sits between softened brown and warm taupe, creating a grounded, understated colour rather than a saturated dark brown. Subtle shifts between the lighter and darker threads add gentle movement as the light catches the texture. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Kitley Umber on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm brown depth can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, natural timber and softly contrasting cream textiles to highlight the fine woven chevron.

A finely woven umber herringbone that brings understated warmth and tailored texture to upholstery.

Pairs well with

Kitley Umber 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.
