About this fabric

This colourway reads as tobacco brown with a softly earthen, lightly terracotta cast, rather than a cool or dark chocolate brown. The surface appears smooth and dense, with fine tonal variation and a restrained leather-like grain visible in the light. Its irregular swatch edge reinforces the hide-inspired character of the Leather Volume I collection, while the plain face keeps the overall look composed. No composition, width, rub-test data or additional performance features have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Marley Tobacco on a sofa, armchair or ottoman where its warm brown depth can sit comfortably beside cream, parchment, camel and darker timber tones. Its smooth, low-pattern surface is particularly effective when paired with more tactile bouclé, linen or woven cushions.

The warm tobacco tone and smooth, softly grained appearance bring understated depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Marley Tobacco 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.
