Abel Roman Blinds: Compare Prices Across UK Retailers

Abel is a woven roman blind fabric that appears under the same name at two UK made-to-measure retailers: Make My Blinds and Swift Direct Blinds. The price scales consistently with window size at both shops, which is a strong indicator that they are working from likely the same wholesale cloth - though that is never confirmed and we can only say the evidence points that way.

As a roman blind fabric, Abel folds into neat horizontal pleats when raised rather than rolling onto a tube. That stacking silhouette makes it a natural choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and any room where you want a softer, more traditional look than a roller blind provides.

Because the fabric itself is likely fixed, the practical decision between these two retailers comes down to three things the price table below will make clear. First, the colour range: Swift Direct Blinds lists 12 colourways against Make My Blinds' 8, so if you need Rust, Oyster, Biscuit, or Slate, only one of those shops carries it. Second, fittings: both retailers offer standard fitting only, so that is not a differentiator here. Third, price at your exact size: roman blind pricing steps up with area, and the "from" price each retailer shows applies only to the smallest available size. Use the pricer below to compare what each shop would actually charge for your specific width and drop - the cheaper option at the minimum size is not always cheaper at the size you need.

If your colour is available at both shops, it is worth pricing your actual window at both before committing. The fabric is likely the same; the price at your size may not be.
