Casamance Fabrics

Casamance fabrics reach American homes straight from Europe, out of a French house founded in 2000 and now sold in over a hundred countries. The label belongs to the Texdecor group, with showrooms in Paris, London and Culemborg in the Netherlands. All 208 designs here come from the full range an official dealer carries, not a trimmed export selection.

Why Casamance fabrics read differently up close

The house calls itself an éditeur and fabricant: it draws its own collections and has them produced under its own direction. Its stated aim is "the classics of tomorrow," and that shows up as restraint. A design reads quiet from across the room and full of nuance up close. A sage green will not hold still between morning and evening, and a deep blue hides a shimmer that a photograph flattens away.

Fitting the cloth to an American floor plan

Rooms here run open and long, with one sightline from the kitchen island to the seating group, and ceilings at 9 ft (2.74 m) or 10 ft (3.05 m) where older housing stock sat at 8 ft (2.44 m). Drapery panels get taller as a result, and at that height a weave with good drape carries better than a loud print. On one open floor, upholstery fabrics on the sofa and curtain fabrics at the windows are taken in at a glance, and nuanced palettes earn their keep there. A powder room or entryway asks the reverse: a bench in a plain fabric beside a papered wall. Yardage converts cleanly in both directions: 1 yd is 0.91 m, 10 yd is 30 ft (9.14 m).

Collections to open first

• Taiga 2: rich textures in a warm palette, at ease as drapery and as upholstery.
• Nouvel Angle: geometry with a confident, current feel.
• Les Modernes: weaves cut for a modern room.

Casamance fabrics and the wallpaper that matches

Palettes and patterns are drawn in relation to one another, so the Casamance wallpaper range lines up with the weaves without any color-matching gymnastics. American interior walls are drywall, flat and even, which makes papering easier than an older plastered wall.

Swatches, duties and delivery in the US

Order swatches from the product pages first: a weave that lives on shimmer or structure never shows itself on a screen, and your own light decides more than any photograph. Match the cloth to the job, and follow the care advice supplied with the fabric; it differs per weave and composition. As an official dealer we serve homeowners and the trade alike. Duties and import fees are settled in advance, so the carrier collects nothing at your door. Need a particular design, a specific color or project quantities? Send us a note.
