Reimagining a Classic: Eshanima Fabrics Introduces the Petit Collection in Houndstooth

Some designs never lose their charm. Houndstooth, with its timeless geometry, has long been a favourite of both fashion and interiors. Now, Eshanima Fabrics reimagines this classic with the Petit Collection, a luxurious fabric that feels as good as it looks.

Brushed to achieve an exceptionally soft handle, Petit strikes a balance between tactile comfort and robust durability. Weighing an impressive 590 grams per square metre and boasting a rub count of 100,000, this is a fabric made for the long haul. It holds its own in high-traffic spaces yet feels equally at home on generational furniture – those dining chairs, headboards, and statement seating pieces destined to become part of family stories.

The palette is equally thoughtful. Petit arrives in eight versatile shades, featuring four gentle pastels that complement contemporary schemes. This curation allows designers to experiment fearlessly, mixing and matching across collections, layering tones, or creating bold contrasts that transform interiors into truly personal statements.

Behind the collection is the story of Eshanima Fabrics itself. Established in 1982 by the Steinbach family, the brand has grown into a beloved name in South Africa’s design industry. With more than 600 products, a boutique Woodstock showroom, and a commitment to sustainability through upcycled textiles, Eshanima blends heritage with forward-thinking innovation. Their investment in stocked fabrics ensures designers have immediate access to on-trend, high-performance textiles, an invaluable advantage in today’s fast-paced world of interiors.
