Rapello Blush FR Slot Top Café Curtain
Our making time: 8 Working Days
Let us tell you more...
Quietly layered, beautifully considered. Rapello’s fine stripes vary in width and waver ever so slightly, like delicate brushstrokes, as soft printed washes of colour drift over a woven striped ground beneath. The two gently overlap and play off each other, creating a fabric with real depth and subtle movement that shifts as the light changes through the day.
In a muted, dusky blush threaded with soft cream, it brings a gentle warmth to a room without ever feeling sweet. Understated enough to sit calmly in any scheme, yet with a richness that rewards a closer look, Rapello brings Sanderson’s signature eye for detail to your windows.
Café curtains dress the lower half of your window, giving you privacy at eye level while letting light pour in above. Rapello filters that daylight into a soft, rosy glow, with all the easy charm of a Parisian café.
Every curtain is made to measure for a flawless fit, finished with a neat turned hem. With years of curtain making behind us, we’re always happy to help, so get in touch for free advice and styling tips.
Specifying for a hotel, holiday let or commercial project? Rapello also has a fire retardant finish, making it ideal for contract use. Email us for trade enquiries, bespoke quotes and full certification details.
- A note on gather: flat for a modern, clean look, or 1.5x to 2x for a softer finish, “our most popular choice”
- A note on the heading: a 5cm slot top, designed for a café rod up to 19mm in diameter, with no stand-up, so the fabric falls cleanly from the rod
- How it’s made: 2cm side hems and a 2cm base hem

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.
