IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of crewel work, there are inherent issues that are unavoidable and do not carry the same guarantee as machine embroidered fabrics. Handcrafted in Kashmir using age old embroidery techniques, crewel work is indigenous to this region only. Each piece of fabric is unique, as different groups of workers are employed for each piece. Every care is taken to maintain a consistent yarn color & embroidery pattern, however it is not practically possible to maintain perfect matches. There may also be missing yarns / slight staining. This is deemed normal.
This is lovely fabric, matched the sample and the curtains were just what I wanted for my room. I was slightly surprised that the linings seemed to be made of a nylon material, when I would have expected cotton, but the making of the curtains overall was good value and the linings may perhaps protect the fabric from sun damage more than cotton would, so I think this is fine. The one less pleasant surprise was the import duty demand which appeared from DHL when the curtains and the other material I ordered were delivered. I don't think there was any mention of this being added to the price that I could see on the website, so I had assumed that any extras of this nature would have been included under 'shipping costs'. It added an extra £100 to the order. While the fabric is still good value for the quality, I would have preferred it if they had mentioned the import duty explicitly, so I knew about it to start with.
