Check Mates by Anna Maria Textiles for Northcott — Alternate – Lipstick

Deep, jewel-toned, and richly dramatic — Alternate in Lipstick is the most darkly luxurious colourway in the Check Mates collection by Anna Maria Textiles for Northcott. Larger squares arranged in alternating rows of rich crimson-red, deep aubergine-purple, warm terracotta-brown, and medium violet-mauve interlock across the fabric, rendered with Anna Maria’s signature woven, linen-like texture. The palette is a masterclass in dark jewel tones — warm and cool hues balanced with extraordinary depth and richness, creating a print that feels opulent, sophisticated, and utterly compelling.

Alternate – Lipstick reads as a rich, moody mosaic from a distance — deep, complex, and magnetic — and reveals its beautifully structured check arrangement up close. It’s the most dramatic and luxurious colourway in the Alternate range, a natural partner for burgundies, plums, terracottas, deep purples, and warm dark neutrals, and the perfect anchor for any palette that calls for depth, richness, and a touch of the extraordinary.
