THE LINEN — CORDOBA & ZOE, WOVEN IN ITALY

Both fabrics on this listing are the same 100% Italian linen. Cordoba Snowflake is the original narrow-loom weave in a soft, warm white. Zoe is the wide-loom version of the very same cloth, woven in four colours: Dusk (charcoal grey), Ocean (soft grey-blue), Natural (oatmeal flax) and Truffle (mottled taupe). Same fibre, same weave, same price — simply pick the colour you love in the fabric selector above, and order fabric samples to see the linen in your own light — the cost is credited to your order.

HOW PANEL WIDTH WORKS

French pleats gather the fabric, so the size you order is the finished pleated width on the rod — not the flat fabric width. Pick your width and height range in step 2, then type your exact width × height (to 1/8 inch) right on this page — we sew to your numbers. For a classic pair on one window, order two panels, each sized to half the rod.

HOW TO MEASURE

Hanging on rings? Install the rod and rings first, then measure. Inside mount: width inside the window opening, edge to edge; height from the bottom of the rings down to the sill. Outside mount: width of your rod end to end (not the finials); height from the bottom of the rings to where you want the panel to end. Use a steel tape measure and round to the nearest 1/8 inch — step-by-step diagrams for both mounts are in the photos, and we sew exactly to your numbers.

FAQ — SIZING, PLEATS, COLOURS, CARE

Is the price per panel or per pair?
The price is per panel and follows the width and height range you choose. For a classic pair on one window, choose the width that matches each half and order two.

What colours do these linen café curtains come in?
Five swatches of the same Italian linen: Cordoba Snowflake (soft white), Zoe Dusk (charcoal grey), Zoe Ocean (grey-blue), Zoe Natural (oatmeal) and Zoe Truffle (taupe). All at the same price — pick your colour in the fabric selector above.

What length should a café curtain be?
A café curtain usually covers the lower half of the window. If your panels hang on rings, measure from the bottom of the rings down to the sill and order that length — we sew each panel to your exact numbers, to a quarter of an inch. Measuring guides for inside and outside mount are in the photos.

Can I choose a different pleat style?
Yes — we sew all three styles shown in the photos: French pleat, double pleat and inverted pleat, at the same price. Select your pleat style right on this page, above the add-to-cart button; the classic French pleat this listing is named after is the default. A rod pocket is also available on request at no charge.

What if the size or colour isn't right? Custom items aren't returnable.
We make it right: order fabric samples first to see the linen in your own light — the cost is credited to your order — and if anything is wrong on our side, we remake it.

How do I wash them?
Dry cleaning is highly recommended for all panels — pressed pleats hold their shape when dry cleaned. You may machine wash unlined linen at your own risk, but we don't recommend it. Lined panels (sheer or privacy lining): dry cleaning only.
