£85.00 GBP

Choose meter quantity

Woven in Spain, this elegant cotton-blend cloqué has a softly sculpted surface and an intricate flowing design reminiscent of unfurling leaves, seed pods and delicate botanical stems. Fine raised lines sweep and curve across the fabric, creating a subtle play of texture and light without overwhelming the understated colour palette.

The cloqué construction gives the fabric gentle body and structure while retaining enough flexibility for graceful movement and a refined drape. It lends itself beautifully to pieces where texture and silhouette do the talking — from tailored jackets and fitted dresses to softly sculpted skirts, evening coats and statement separates.

There is something distinctly Art Nouveau about the sinuous pattern, while the restrained elegance would work equally well in a contemporary wardrobe. Think of a pared-back cocktail dress, a beautifully cut jacket or a dramatic long coat where the fabric itself provides the detail.

Also available in black.

The black colourway has an especially glamorous connection: it was used to create a costume for Lady Araminta Gun in Netflix's Bridgerton. The show's Season 4 costume team deliberately gave Araminta's wardrobe strong silhouettes, rich texture and subtle sparkle, describing her clothes as almost a form of reflective armour. Her look drew on a mixture of 1820s and 1970s influences rather than adhering strictly to Regency dress.

For customers drawn to the Bridgerton connection, the black colourway offers the opportunity to work with a fabric already associated with one of the season's most distinctive wardrobes.

Colour Accuracy and Sample Advisory

We stock a huge collection of fabrics and do our best to describe the colour of each piece, both online and when you call us.  Try as we might, we can never guarantee exact colours or colour matching, simply because of the multitude of variations in shade, as well as the way colours and colour settings vary by device and monitor. To make an informed decision on your fabric's colour, texture, weight and movement, we encourage you to order a sample before placing a larger order.
