Hélène ALEXIS (asker) Jan 15, 2009:
textures I think, here the whole sentence (and sentence before) xx offers a selection of classic woven textures, subtle in spirit with emphasis on dimension. A bold basket weave in wool compliments a refined linen solid, while a complex modern cross gained texture provides an elegant balance to the collection.
laura-francaise Jan 15, 2009:
Does the "basket weave" refer to pattern, texture, or both?

armure natté/e [ou Panama]

Weave translates as "armure," not "armature." Some sites add an e to "armure natté." Bold is translated many times in the KOG. There are many possibilities, and I've listed some of them below. Choose what you like best.

armure - weave
armure natté - basket weave
armure natté toile - hopsack weave
armuré - fancy weave

armature nattée éclatante/hardie/osée/audacieuse

In this this case bold means bright colors therefore "éclatante" but one could go for the other meanings.

texture de vannerie marquée

It definitely refers to textures as opposed to colors (the preceeding sentence makes this clear).
