Cashmir: The Softness of Woven Wool, The Strength of Contract Fabric
At Agua Fabrics, we believe that high-performance fabrics can—and should—feel as good as they perform. Our Cashmir collection reflects this philosophy, bringing the look and feel of finely brushed wool to a woven upholstery fabric designed specifically for demanding interior spaces.
Cashmir has been developed to provide a softer, more tactile alternative to traditional contract fabrics, while maintaining the durability, hygiene, and easy-care properties essential in commercial settings. The result is a textile that offers comfort, warmth, and reliability—all in one.
A Fabric That Invites Touch
The defining characteristic of Cashmir is its soft, wool-like finish. Inspired by the elegance of natural fibres, this fabric brings a residential quality to contract environments, helping to create spaces that feel more welcoming and refined.
Its brushed surface adds visual depth and a sense of comfort that makes it particularly well-suited for environments where users are encouraged to relax and feel at ease—whether that’s a hotel lobby, a spa, or a breakout space in the workplace.
Engineered for Performance
While its surface might evoke natural wool, Cashmir is very much a technical fabric. Like all Agua collections, it is developed for everyday performance in high-traffic environments.
Core features include:
- Waterproof – ideal for preventing absorption of spills and moisture
- Crib 5 Fire Retardant – compliant with UK commercial fire safety requirements
- Stain-resistant – helping maintain a fresh, clean appearance
- Anti-microbial and anti-fungal – supporting better hygiene across shared environments
- Martindale abrasion rating >100,000 rubs – built to withstand consistent use over time
Cashmir offers all the practical assurances required in the contract market, while delivering a fabric that feels softer and more personal than expected from high-performance textiles.
A Refined Colour Palette
Available in a range of 18 elegant colourways, the Cashmir collection includes both classic neutrals and deeper, tonal shades that pair easily with wood, metal, stone, or other fabrics.
From soft greys and warm taupes to ink blues and forest greens, the palette is designed to support a wide range of interior styles—from minimal and calming to richer, layered aesthetics.
Where Cashmir Comes Into Its Own
Cashmir is particularly suited to interiors that seek to combine warmth and professionalism, including:
- Hospitality venues – where soft textures help enhance comfort and create a more relaxed guest experience
- Workplace lounges or client zones – balancing aesthetics with durability
- Healthcare and wellness settings – supporting a softer, less clinical atmosphere while maintaining strict hygiene standards
- Leisure environments – such as private cinemas, spas, or waiting areas where texture adds a sense of calm
Its versatility and soft appearance allow Cashmir to be used as a statement fabric or as a neutral base within more complex schemes.
Sustainably Produced, Responsibly Specified
As with all Agua Fabrics collections, Cashmir is REACH compliant, ensuring it is free from harmful substances and suitable for use in both public and private spaces with confidence.
Combined with its long product life and easy-care finish, Cashmir offers a responsible option for designers looking to specify sustainable, durable fabrics without compromising on feel or finish.
