What design runs across these curtains?
A small chevron-leaf pattern covers the whole of each panel, worked tone on tone in white. Because the motif is fine and repeated edge to edge, it reads as a soft texture from across the room and only shows its leaf shapes when you come close. The base has a light, sheer look, which keeps the pair feeling airy.
How does applique show up when everything is white?
With white fabric shapes stitched onto a white cotton base, the design comes from texture rather than colour. The layered edges and stitch lines give the chevron leaves a gentle raised outline, so the pattern appears as quiet relief on the cloth. Applique is known for adding this kind of texture and dimension to a textile.
How many curtains come in the pack, and what size is each?
You get a set of two curtains. Each one measures 44 x 84 inches, which is about 3.5 x 7 feet, so the pair can frame a window from both sides or hang together across a doorway.
Which rooms do they suit?
Their white, light look sits easily in a bedroom, a living room or a reading corner, especially with neutral walls, light wood or cane furniture. If your room already has strong colour in rugs or cushions, a quiet white pair lets those pieces lead while still adding handmade texture at the window.
How should I wash them?
Hand wash them gently with a mild detergent, wash them separately from other clothes and linen, and dry them in the shade. A simple, gentle routine like this is the best way to look after the cotton and the handwork.
Who makes these curtains?
They are handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Khetaram. Each curtain is made by hand, so small irregularities in the shapes and stitching are part of the piece and a sign of the work that went into it.
