Curtain retail shop in Kenya

Ready-made curtains selected by window dimensions, light control and hanging method.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional curtain order: four jacquard panels for two windows, using the Orca catalogue’s 140×270 cm model only after the supplier confirms that the quoted unit is one panel. Each window receives two panels, giving 280 cm flat fabric width before gathering. Actual rail span, heading compatibility and desired fullness are checked; installation and alteration are excluded.

Who is the first customer?

Tenants and households furnishing particular rooms.

Test the offer

Offer swatches and measure a few real windows before committing to bulk panels.
