Cape Mohair Russet

Cape Mohair Fabric

Cape Mohair Russet is a warm, earthy brown with a subtly lustrous nap that gives the plain surface a soft depth. The colour reads as grounded and tactile, with a muted russet warmth rather than a flat chocolate tone.

About this fabric

Woven in 50% Mohair and 50% Acrylic, this fabric has the refined, slightly plush character you would expect from a mohair blend, while remaining practical for upholstery. The plain design and 140 cm width make it straightforward to use across larger seating projects, and the 80,000 Martindale rub test underlines its suitability for hardworking furniture. In this russet colourway, the pile catches the light gently, revealing warmer reddish-brown notes through the deeper brown ground. It has a smart, tailored feel that works well where you want texture without pattern.

How to use it

Use Russet on a sofa, armchair, or banquette to bring warmth to walnut timbers, leather, and aged brass. Its earthy depth also layers well with oatmeal, moss, and charcoal for a calm, grown-up scheme.

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.
