WATERLOO – DESIGNERS GUILD – GRAPHITE – 100% COTTON FABRIC – 143cm WIDE

A striking contemporary printed cotton fabric from Designers Guild, featuring an eclectic mix of abstract fish, organic shapes, dots and hand-drawn patterns.

Waterloo combines a warm neutral background with an assortment of oversized fish and pebble-like motifs, each filled with a different graphic pattern. Polka dots, irregular linework, geometric marks and sweeping organic shapes create a wonderfully playful patchwork effect.

The Graphite colourway brings together black, chocolate brown, taupe, stone, cream and soft grey, giving the bold design a sophisticated neutral palette that is easy to incorporate into both contemporary and retro-inspired interiors.

At approximately 225gsm, this is a substantial medium weight cotton with good body and structure while still remaining flexible and easy to work with.

New To Medium Weight Cotton?

Medium weight cotton has more body and substance than lightweight dressmaking or quilting cotton while retaining the natural feel and versatility of cotton.

It is particularly useful when you want a fabric that will hold its shape without becoming excessively heavy or rigid.

This makes it a versatile choice for bags, accessories, home furnishings and more structured garments.
