gendon 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2007 tis is the uber expensive organza curtain i'm looking for... though u see two colours, it's actually two sides of the same curtain. really like it alot.bargained fm $600 to $480 but the price is really too high. anyone saw it b4 at curtain shops, i oni saw it once when the curtain guy fm Shop8 brought it over to my place coz i ask to see some samples. i dun like the current one coz it looked cheapo.. if oni in the first place dat shop8 guy brought it to ID's office when i chose the curtain materials, i would haf ordered it lor... now totally no budget.Blueberi,Is this fabric to be dry clean only or can handwash or machinewash? Sometimes, the washing instruction can give u an idea the quality of the material. From the pic and your description of the curtain fabric, I suspect this fabric costs at least $80 per metre, could be from Europe or Japan. Look at how the interweaving is done, the workmanship of the fabric alone, the feel and drape & drop of the fabric. With such fabric, u can try browse at J&S shop, the one at Joo Chiat as well as the Orchard Rd branches, or other mid-to-high-end range shops.IMHO....If you intend to keep such curtains for a long time, better get good quality ones, at least the money is worth well spent. Yes, I agree that some may think no need to get expensive curtains, etc. But the point is, when a curtain is big and attractive, better get quality good looking ones. If wanna save on curtains, can get those cheaper ones that blend into the background and doesn't stand out too much. That way you can focus on other better quality small-ticket furnishings such as cushions,upholstery,table cloths,table runners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing abt J&S branches, different branch carry diff concept, must really ask them in detail.If you're not willing to part with the $480, sit on it first...think..think...browse...browse. If still thinking abt it after more than 2 weeks, it's destined to be yours, hee hee! !! Frankly, for that kind of fabric with that kind of $480 price, it's a steal. Imagine the workmanship required to sew up this curtain, not easy. Btw, does the strips run vertically or horizontally? Bcos if it runs horizontally....then must think of the workmanship costs chargeable when they need to ensure that the right side and left side of the curtain when you draw them close...need to be aligned. If you got expensive fabric, skali the workmanship sucks (ie. here there not even, wrong length, seam & hem not finished neatly) then everything goes down the drain.
