The materials: linen and cotton
Francesca is made from a classic pairing of natural textiles with the soft handle of cotton but the characterful slubs and durability of linen. It’s a breathable fabric which will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, and its tight weave means it’s extremely strong which makes it a go-to for upholstery and accessories.The colour
Like the graceful oak leaf pattern, the colours have a delicate softness about them – and none more so than Old Rose. It’s blush-pink hue will bring an understated statement to a room, as well as warmth to other colours too, such as Francesca Moss.Doing the right thing
Aside from the fact that this fabric is produced in Lancashire (which ensures a minimal carbon footprint), it’s also created with linen that is European Flax Certified. This guarantees traceability of the production process, and means that the raw material is a natural, sustainable fibre that has been grown without artificial irrigation and is free from GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms).Where we see it
This fabric comes in two print sizes – small and grand. We recommend combining both scales in the same room, with the larger print on a headboard, curtains or armchair, and the smaller one on accessories such as cushions or lampshades. This repetition of the same pattern is a traditional decorating style which fits with the timeless aesthetic of the fabric.
