Why say ‘no’ to polyester fabrics

Why should I avoid polyester? Polyester is a synthetic fabric - - - in other words man-made. This means it isn’t biodegradable like our natural or recycled fabrics and as it is a mass produced, cheaply made fabric, it’s the main culprit in the world of fast fashion. As a soft furnishing in our home it retains bad odours, is more flammable than natural fabrics and doesn’t last as long as quality curtains and blinds due to its synthetic fibres. So investing in quality window apparel will stop you having to replace your curtains or blinds every few years!

The likes of Hillarys, Blinds2go, Dunelm and even John Lewis have a very limited range, or no eco-fabrics at all, that are actually good for your home and the planet. You will find that the majority of their ranges are made from polyester. Our curtain and roman blind fabrics are 100% natural, rapidly renewable and even made from recycled materials. We call them feel-good fabrics for a reason. Take a look at our fabric collections.

You can be sure you’re paying a fair price for quality, ethical production and personalised designs. With our focus on the quality and craftsmanship of our curtains and blinds, our prices accurately reflect what we do. We consistently work to achieve a sustainable and traceable supply chain, with a minimal carbon footprint. We create your hand-picked designs and fairly price every step of the process.

We want you to feel proud of the quality, origin and heritage of your curtains + blinds. All of our curtains + blinds are handmade by master sewistas whose families have been hemming and stitching in the UK for generations.
