Alma Deep Blue Curtain

Behind every pair of curtains we create is a commitment to slow, personal craftsmanship. Instead of passing your order down an industrial assembly line, a single expert seamstress crafts your curtains from start to finish. From the moment your chosen linen or cotton is measured and laid upon the cutting table to the final hand-stitched hem, one pair of skilled hands takes total care of your curtains.

• One Maker, Absolute Consistency: Because a single maker handles your curtains from first cut to final press, every seam, header, and pleat receives undivided attention. The result is a level of personal pride, balanced weight, and seamless quality that automated factory production simply cannot match.
• Mastering the Drape of Natural Fabrics: Tailoring pure linen and cotton curtains
  requires intuition and a trained eye. Natural fibres move and fall differently than synthetic materials; our maker knows exactly how to work with the fabric's natural grain so your curtains fall in deep, fluid folds and hang beautifully to the floor.

Tailored with Heart & Skill: Beautifully made
from start to finish, your curtains are a celebration of slow, personal craftsmanship.

Natural fibre made-to-measure bed valances are delightfully low-maintenance. Because they sit neatly against the bed base and aren't handled daily, full dry cleaning is rarely necessary—regular light care is all they need to stay fresh, crisp, and fit perfectly for years.

Routine Maintenance (All They Usually Need)

• Gentle Hoovering or Brushing: Gently vacuum the drops and corner pleats regularly using your hoover’s soft brush attachment on a low suction setting (or use a soft clothes brush) to remove settling dust.

Professional Cleaning (Stains & Deep Cleans Only)

• Dry Clean Only: If your valance suffers a spill or requires a deep refresh over time, we strictly recommend professional dry cleaning. We do not advise washing made-to-measure linen or cotton bed valances in water.

Why Water Washing Should Be Avoided

• No Water Spotting: Never attempt to spot-treat stains with water or liquid detergents at home, as this can leave permanent water rings and localized fabric distortion.
• Fading of Printed Fabrics: Water washing will cause printed or patterned fabrics to fade, as water damages and washes out delicate inks and dyes.
• Pre-Washing Isn't Shrink-Proof: While pre-washing reduces initial shrinkage, natural fibres like linen still carry minor residual shrinkage when submerged in water.
• Decking & Seam Distortion: The flat top section (decking) and the decorative side drops shrink at different rates in water. This leads to puckered seams, warped pleats, and an ill-fitting, distorted shape across your bed base.
