Ankara in Soot Velvet Fabric is a confident, contemporary statement—its bold geometric print inspired by Aztec artistry and interpreted in crisp monochrome. Interlocking shapes unfold in rhythmic symmetry, rendered in deep soot-black against a rich cream velvet base. The high pile of the velvet enriches the design with tactile depth and soft sheen, amplifying contrast and capturing light across its structured motifs.
Striking yet refined, Ankara brings mid-century modern influence into today’s interiors, ideal for bold upholstery, dramatic curtains or distinctive soft furnishings. Its rhythmic geometry and velvety finish offer a dynamic accent for dark-toned palettes or minimalist schemes.
Available in None FR, Standard FR (BS 5852:1) and Crib 5 (BS 5852:2006 Clause 11) treatments, this designer upholstery fabric meets a range of residential and commercial needs with style and safety.
Pile direction: all pieces must be cut in the same direction or they will reflect light differently and read as two colours.
Shading: velvet naturally appears lighter or darker depending on your viewing angle. This is inherent to the fabric, not a fault.
Grinning: digital printing sits on the pile surface. Stretching over a tight frame can reveal the base cloth beneath. A natural characteristic, not a fault.
Upholstery projects: please consult your maker before ordering to confirm suitability, quantity and cutting plan.

Delivery to the Scottish Highlands, offshore islands and some remote postcodes may take a little longer, and any surcharge is calculated and shown at checkout.
International delivery takes 2 to 10 working days, sent tracked and Delivery Duty Paid, so all taxes and duties are included in the price you pay with no surprise charges on arrival.
