Description
The Manhattan curtains are cut velvet worked into a textured geometric pattern, a grid of small broken tiles that catches the light differently across each block. That relief is what gives the fabric its depth: where a flat velvet reads as one solid tone, this one shifts between light and shadow as you move past it, so the mink brown looks paler on the raised faces and deeper in the recesses. This is a fully lined eyelet pair, sold in a range of widths and drops from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the pair to the window rather than force the window to the curtain.
Eyelet curtains suit a modern pole and hang in even, rounded folds without any hooks or tape to fuss over. These sit well in a living room or bedroom where you want some weight at the window, and the mink tone is a middle-ground neutral that works against warm plaster walls, panelled painted joinery and grey or brown upholstery alike. Choose your width by taking the track or pole measurement and allowing for gather: as a pair, each curtain covers roughly half the stated width flat, so a generous overlap and fullness comes from ordering a total width comfortably wider than your pole.
Both the face and the lining are polyester, which holds colour well, resists creasing and does not need the careful handling a natural pile would. The lining adds body to the drape and reduces the light coming through, which is the point of a fully lined curtain over an unlined one. Drops are the second figure to check: 137cm suits a sill-height window, 183cm and 229cm are for longer windows and floor-length hangs. If you want the pile to lie in one clean sweep to the floor, size up to the 229cm drop.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels. Measure your pole or track width and allow for gather when choosing your size.
How do I choose the right width and drop?
The first figure is the width per pair and the second is the drop. Pick a total width comfortably wider than your pole for fullness, and a drop to suit sill or floor length.
What does fully lined mean for these curtains?
Both panels have a polyester lining sewn behind the velvet face, which adds weight to the drape and reduces the amount of daylight passing through the fabric.
What is the fabric like to live with?
The face is cut velvet with a raised geometric texture, and both face and lining are polyester, which holds its colour and resists creasing without the careful handling a natural pile needs.
Do the eyelets fit a standard pole?
The eyelet heading is made to thread onto a curtain pole and hang in even folds. Check your pole diameter against the eyelet ring size before ordering.
