Description
The Manhattan is a fully lined eyelet curtain sold as a pair, made from cut velvet with a textured geometric pattern. The face is 100% polyester and the lining is 100% polyester, so the whole panel is one material front and back. The photographs show a deep charcoal cloth broken into short vertical blocks and facets, where the cut pile catches the light unevenly and gives the fabric its shifting, broken-brick surface. It comes in a wide range of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the drop to almost any window.
These curtains suit a living room or bedroom where you want depth and warmth at the window rather than a flat block of colour. The velvet reads as near-black from a distance and lifts to a soft grey where the light hits the raised areas, which pairs well with pale panelled walls, natural wood floors and warm brass or nickel fittings. Because they are fully lined, they add privacy and reduce the light coming through, which makes them a sensible choice for a room you want to darken in the evening or a bedroom that faces the street. The eyelet heading slides straight onto a pole and falls into even, rounded folds.
The eyelet construction means no hooks or tape to fuss with; the rings sit over the pole and the curtain hangs in a regular wave. Being fully lined, the panel has more body and weight, so it drapes cleanly to the floor as shown rather than clinging or billowing. Velvet holds colour well and its pile gives the pattern its character, so hang the pair with a little overlap in the centre for the fullest effect. Choose your width for gather: a pole around one and a half times the curtain width gives a generous fold.

Frequently Asked
How many curtains come in a pack?
Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two matching panels ready to hang across a single window from one pole.
What heading do these curtains have?
They have an eyelet heading, which means metal rings are set into the top so the curtains slide straight onto a pole with no hooks or tape.
Are these curtains lined?
Yes, they are fully lined, which adds body for a cleaner drape, gives you more privacy and reduces the amount of light coming through.
What is the fabric like?
The face is cut velvet with a textured geometric pattern, so the surface has a raised, tactile pile that catches the light and shows subtle variation across the panel.
What sizes are available?
The range runs from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm as a pair, so measure your pole width and the drop you want before choosing.
How wide a pole do these suit?
For a full, gathered look allow a pole around one and a half times the total curtain width, and hang the pair with a slight overlap at the centre.
