Curtains & blinds

BEST FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Take a trip to the coast of India with ILIV’s classic Malabar fabric collection. The colourful patterns are inspired by the ancient art of hand-block printing, where the artisans carved designs into pieces of wood, then pressed them onto fabric with natural dyes. The curtains are made from sustainably sourced slubbed cotton, which has a textured appearance. This is enhanced by slight imperfections created by twisting the cotton prior to weaving. The texture adds to its charm, giving it a vintage, handmade feel.
