Hello.
You all have seen Amazon echo, google home, some B & O and other cloth covered speakers which have quite modern looking speaker cloth. Where to get similar one? amazon and ebay for "speaker cloth" show either dull looking, "generic" designs, or some vintage replicas for old speaker refurbishment, but I don't want vintage, I want that modern look. Any ideas?

Googled it and here you are;

I use hessian from old sacks and dye them.

Please show us a couple pictures of what you call "modern look", Amazon and others have thousands of speaker cabinets.
FWIW what you are searching might not even be cloth at all.
Yes that's right. I need more clarification. Currently, two kinds of grill cloths are available. So called "flat", with no visible texture, and "textured" ones, where you can see individual lines of cloth having various color, forming various patterns etc. The problem is with "textured" ones. The pattern/line size is well suited for large, such as bookshelf and floor or PA speakers, but when you apply same cloth to smaller speaker, such as amazon echo or whatsoever, it looks very rough. Since fibers are too large and distance between them is also way too big.
To get idea what I need, here's link to amazon's Echo case:
Amazon.com: Amazon Echo Dot Case (fits Echo Dot 2nd Generation only) - Charcoal Fabric: Amazon Devices
Or another bluetooth speaker with cloth on it exactly like I need:
Amazon.com: Jonter Fashion Bookshelf Bluetooth Speaker, Desktop Round Speaker with Fabric&Metal Surface, 10W Subwoofer, Built-in Mic Handsfree Phone Calling, TF Card Slot & AUX Cable(Gray): Cell Phones & Accessories
And it is actually a cloth. I have several such speakers and I can clearly see and feel it is a cloth, not plastic or metal or print.

And here's one example of what being sold:
Amazon.com: ZUINIUBI Speaker Cloth Stereo Grill Fabric Mesh for Audio Brown: Musical Instruments
If you have look on it, the mesh size and it's cell size are quite big, and while they are ok for big speakers, on small speaker such cloth looks really weird, I've already tried.

I checked a small local fabric store, which has quite limited choice, but still got some results.
Hessian is not good, because it is rough, net size is too big, material not flat, and can be easily torn by nail. The best suiting what I have found is Heather fabric, it has exactly same look and feel what I need, but the problem is, that it is very dense and heavy, as shopkeeper said, it is used for men's pants. So I need something similar, but less dense. Shopkeeper also noted, that I might be looking for simple cotton fabric, which just has heather fabric pattern printed on it.

They sell it to cover acoustic absorption; to "let sound in". It will work just as well to "let sound out".
Any fabric will have a high-cut frequency. Heavy sweat-pant fabric will cut 10KHz. Thin fabrics have very low (not zero) absorption to the top of the audio band. (If the fluff is less than 0.07" it is <1/10 wavelength at 20KHz and can not have large absorption.)
You also want to know if it can be "handled" without snags and grime. Acoustical absorbers are expected to "look good" at least long enough for the client to process a check (sometimes months), and usually longer so the job can be used as reference for new customers.
here in this one it says specifically that it's "speaker" cloth....would that be better...Acoustone Speaker Grille Cloth | Acoustical Solutions
Here's an old bookmark I ran across, never tried them out. May be another option or two in there.
