Modern Heritage Linen Fabric for Maximalist Interiors

Caustic Chrysanthemum in London Purple is a bold and luxurious fabric, perfect for those who love maximalist interiors. Whether styled as statement curtain fabric, striking blinds or eye-catching cushions, this modern heritage linen fabric brings instant drama and elegance to any room. Each metre is printed to order in the UK, ensuring both quality craftsmanship and a sustainable approach to production.

A Hand-Illustrated Design with Artistic Edge

Every pattern is hand-drawn by April (no AI involved) giving each design an authentic and personal touch. The chrysanthemum motif reimagines the classic Arts and Crafts aesthetic for today’s bold interiors. In this striking purple and teal colourway, the fabric draws inspiration from London Purple, a historical by-product of the English dye industry once used as an insecticide. Transformed here into an expressive textile, it captures colour, character and a daring sense of design.

Why Choose a Linen Fabric Sample First?

We always recommend ordering a sample to check the weight, texture and colour in person. Please keep in mind:

  • Samples are pre-printed and pre-cut, so ordering more than one won’t create a continuous length
  • The sample may not show the exact section of the design you’ll receive, but it gives a true sense of the pattern and quality

About

Our luxury cotton linen is one of our bestsellers. The cotton linen blend give it a luxurious look. A slub of linen gives the fabric real character and provides surface interest.

As a medium heavyweight fabric, it is suitable for a wide range of soft furnishings such as cushions, curtains and lampshades. The base colour is a natural white and the design is printed using eco-friendly water based pigment inks.

The luxury cotton linen is pre-treated to offer excellent durability and wash fastness. Pigments are inherently UV resistance and will provide long lasting prints.

Five Stars!

"An extensive search for fabric (for drapes to complement my new decor) finally led me to this totally eye-catching print. The colors and design are beautiful, the fabric (I chose the cotton linen) has a great quality feel, and the backing is opaque enough that it won't need lining but also lets in light without obscuring the pattern! Beyond that, April has been a delight to communicate with and has repeatedly taken steps to make sure the whole experience is completely satisfying and even pleasantly surprising! Love it!"
