St Leger & Viney’s

Latest Fabric Collections:

A Journey of Texture and Colour

In the world of interior design, fabric plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of a space.
St Leger & Viney’s latest fabric collections, Casablanca and Wild Thing In/Outdoor, have arrived
just in time to provide the perfect backdrop for creating sophisticated indoor retreats and lively
outdoor havens. Drawing from a wide range of global and local inspirations, these two collections
are a testament to the brand's commitment to versatility, style, and impeccable craftsmanship.

Casablanca: A Moroccan Dreamscape

Inspired by Morocco's captivating landscapes and rich cultural heritage, the Casablanca
collection transports you to a land of exotic textures, earthy tones, and architectural marvels.
When you encounter these fabrics, you are swept into the warm embrace of Morocco’s vibrant
medinas, sun-drenched mountains, and timeless craftsmanship.
At the heart of Casablanca is a colour palette that is both calming and invigorating.
Soft neutrals form the base, evoking the serenity of Moroccan deserts and ancient stonework.
Interspersed among these gentle hues are pops of rich clay, mustard, and blue – the latter a
homage to Fez's famed blue and white pottery. These tones not only mirror the natural beauty of
Morocco but also create a versatile canvas for designers, allowing subtle touches of boldness to
shine through.
Texture plays a starring role in this collection. From the rustic feel of Berber-inspired wool to
the sleek luxury of cashmere, Casablanca offers a tactile experience beyond the visual.
The use of real raffia adds a distinctive touch, perfect for light upholstery or accessories, while
Jillaba fabric draws inspiration from traditional wool garments of the Maghreb region. For those
seeking a statement piece, Fez Stripe, an embroidered-inspired viscose-linen blend, brings
elegance and artistry in four colourways. Medina reimagines contemporary Moroccan tiles in a
modern, irregular pattern, perfect for making a bold statement.
Complementing this main collection is the Casablanca Windows Collection, which introduces
an array of sheers, semi-sheers, and solid curtain fabrics. These fabrics are designed to enhance
natural light and create a serene ambience, further supporting the collection’s overarching
theme of creating an oasis of calm.

Wild Thing In/Outdoor: Bold and Beautiful
While Casablanca offers a tranquil journey through Moroccan elegance, the
Wild Thing In/Outdoor collection brings a vibrant, playful energy to the table.
Proudly produced in South Africa, Wild Thing celebrates the beauty of the outdoors
with its bright colours, lively patterns, and rugged durability – making it ideal for
spaces that flow seamlessly indoors and outdoors.
This collection takes a fearless approach, featuring bold florals, striking animal
prints, and a versatile array of plains. The fabrics are eye-catching and designed to
withstand the elements, ensuring longevity without sacrificing style. The reversible
stripes offer added flexibility, allowing designers to play with patterns and contrast
in various ways. A standout in the collection is Fynbos Stripe, a fabric inspired by
South Africa’s unique flora. Its rhythmic lines and rich colours evoke the beauty of
the local landscape, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture or accents.
Wild Thing and Casablanca showcase St Leger & Viney’s ability to balance global
influences with local production, offering fabrics that cater to a diverse range of
tastes and settings. Whether you’re looking to create a serene, Moroccan-inspired
retreat or a dynamic, colourful outdoor space, these collections provide the tools to
bring your vision to life.
