Chichester Natural Slot Top Cafe Curtain
Our making time: 8 working days
Let us tell you more...
It's a quietly clever design. From across the room it looks like a simple natural sheer. Up close there's real texture and movement in the weave. That combination makes Chichester one of the most adaptable fabrics in the collection - it works in a modern kitchen just as well as a more traditional one, and pairs naturally with everything from aged brass hardware to matte white tiles.
A solid choice for anyone who wants something that feels considered without drawing attention to itself.
Custom made to your width and drop.
A note on gather For a more traditional gather order at 2.5x your window width. For a flatter, more uniform appearance order at 2x. Both work - it's a question of the look you're after. For a cleaner, more screen-like look you may wish to opt for flat.
A note on the heading The 5cm slot top sits neatly on a rod up to 19mm diameter with no stand-up - so the fabric falls straight from the pole. Clean, unfussy, exactly right for a café curtain.

Where it's made
Every curtain is cut and finished in our workroom in the New Forest, Hampshire. It's the same workroom behind a long-established UK made-to-measure curtain specialist - years of experience, thousands of orders, and a team that genuinely knows fabric.
Your curtains are measured against your exact specification, cut by hand, and finished before they leave Hampshire. No overseas factories, no generic sizing, no guesswork.
Just a small team doing one thing properly, in the corner of England we're proud to call home.
Delivery & Returns
Two separate things, one simple idea
There are two timeframes at play when you order from us, and it's worth understanding both before you check out.
Making time is how long it takes us to cut and finish your order in our Hampshire workroom. For made to measure curtains this is usually 7-10 working days. You'll find the specific making time for this product above.
Delivery time is how long the courier takes once your order leaves us. This is separate, and comes after the making time - not instead of it.
So if a curtain has a 7 working day making time and you choose standard delivery, expect your order roughly 9-10 working days after you place it, not 7.
Choosing your delivery speed
At checkout you'll be able to choose between standard and express delivery. Pricing for both is shown clearly at checkout based on your order and delivery address, so there are no surprises before you pay.
Ordering a rod with your curtain? A note on longer hardware
Café rods and poles over 150cm may incur a long length courier surcharge, as they need a different kind of handling and packaging to ship safely. This will always be shown clearly in your basket and at checkout before you complete your order - never added afterwards.
How we pack and send
Every order is packed by hand with the same care we put into making it. We work with a small number of carefully chosen courier partners we know and trust, rather than whoever happens to be cheapest that week - because a beautifully made curtain that arrives creased or damaged helps nobody.

Returns
Made to measure items cannot be returned once cut. Ready-made hardware and accessories can be returned within 14 days unused and in original packaging.
