Made to Measure Curtains

Will your woven linen fabrics make beautiful Made to Measure curtains?

Yes absolutely! Our Made to Measure curtains from our woven linens are a must. There is something very special about hand woven fabrics, which in this case are hand-loomed with incredible expertise and love.

Most are made from 100% Linen, with the Malmo in Linen Union. These fabrics are a beautiful collection of timeless woven stripes where the pattern is integrated into the fabric through weaving rather than printing. The yarns are dyed and then intricately woven together.

The IKAT part of the stripe, (a characteristic of IKAT fabrics is an apparent irregular "blurriness" to the design), is created here by screen printing the colour onto the warp (north to south) threads, and then the weft (west to east) is woven across them producing the irregular and famous IKAT shapes.

Vanessa loves the colour and texture of woven fabrics as well as the handle and feel of the spun yarns. Designing the Scandinavian woven fabrics for this collection has taught her a great deal. These Scandinavian fabrics have a strong Nordic theme, from the Lapland Stripe, which is inspired by the rural life and simple landscapes of the Sami people in Lapland, to the more contemporary feel of the Scandi Stripe, which Vanessa has produced in two striking colourways: Warm, and Cool. Nordic Stripe brings a warm chestnut brown I have called "Reindeer." And last but not least, Malmo, a vibrantly coloured striped design with blue, red, and orange embroidery diamond motifs running vertically.

We can make all these into exquisite curtains for you as part of our Made to Measure curtain service, all bespoke to your measurements.

Please ask for fabric samples and see the colours in your rooms. If you order a half metre returnable sample you can drape it over an existing chair or pin it to your present curtains and see how it looks. These 100% Linen fabrics are traditionally handwoven in Southern India and Linen and are particularly suitable for curtains. We hold a good stock of all our fabrics ensuring delivery is usually within 3-5 working days, with an overnight service available by phone call request. The same team who takes your order will roll, inspect and cut it, so accuracy and quality can be assured.
