Equador purple

Woven in 95% cotton and 5% linen, this fabric has a soft handle and a relaxed, mid-weight drape that suits curtains, blinds and soft furnishings. The colourway is not a dense, saturated purple; instead it reads as a washed lilac with pale blue-grey shadows and hints of mauve, giving the leaf motif a fresh, airy finish. The large 69 cm horizontal and 69.4 cm vertical repeat creates a sweeping, full-scale pattern that works best where the design can be seen unfolding across the width of a window. At 230 gsm and with no fire-retardant treatment noted, it is best kept to decorative interior uses and cleaned by dry clean only.

Pair this cool lilac palette with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed silver for a calm, contemporary scheme. It also softens darker scheme colours, adding a botanical note without feeling too bold.
