Inspired by menswear tailoring with signature colouration by designer Vincent Van Duysen, Clifford re-works a classic Houndstooth using textures to reduce the graphic impact of the pattern. A jacquard weave with fine and twisted yarns, it has a subtle sheen and natural effect from the linen. Van Duyens muted colours and subdued contrasts such as brown grey, olive, cream and burgundy rose give it a sophisticated contemporary twist. From a distance the tones blend together making it especially suited for upholstery. Other combinations are brown ecru and silver grey, while salt and pepper is a tribute to the original. The fabric has recycled polyester in the backing.
