Kemble is a pure cotton check, woven in India and machine-washable, with the crisp, rustic charm that only a woven check possesses — colour running through the cloth, not sitting on it. Light in duty, it belongs on curtains, blinds, cushions and gently used chairs rather than the family sofa. In a scheme it does what checks have always done: brings order, freshness and a certain unforced domesticity.
