Sleek Handcrafted White Applique Curtain

What are the leaf motifs like?

Large, feathery leaves in grey are scattered across the white base. They are spaced loosely rather than lined up in rows, so the design feels light and natural, and the grey gives each leaf a clear but gentle outline against the white cotton.

Will the grey motifs suit my decor?

White with grey is a cool, easy neutral. It suits minimal or Scandinavian-style rooms, grey or white sofas, black metal or light oak furniture and lots of plants. It also calms down a colourful room, letting rugs and art take the lead.

Who makes this curtain?

It is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Khetaram. Since each curtain is made by hand, small irregularities in the leaf shapes and stitching are natural and part of the piece.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, wash it separately from other laundry, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun. A simple, gentle routine like this is the best way to look after the white cotton and the grey leaves.

Can I use it on a wide window?

Each curtain is 44 inches wide and 84 inches long, about 3.5 x 7 feet. For an opening wider than 44 inches, measure the full width and plan enough curtains to hang side by side across it.

What fabric is it?

It is cotton, with the grey leaf shapes applied onto the white cotton base by applique, where fabric pieces are stitched onto a base cloth. That gives the leaves a slightly raised, textured finish.
