Ahiki Lemon is a roman blind fabric currently stocked by two UK retailers - Swift Direct Blinds and Make My Blinds. Both list it under the same name, and when a fabric travels across retailer catalogues like this, it is likely the same wholesale cloth being cut and finished to order by each shop. The pricing behaviour backs that up: the gap between retailers tends to stay proportional as window size increases, which is exactly what you would expect when the underlying material cost is shared.
Because the fabric itself is likely fixed, the practical differences between the two listings come down to a handful of things the price table cannot capture on its own. The first is colour range - if one retailer carries more colourways within the Ahiki family, that could settle the choice before price even comes into it. The second is fittings: both retailers here offer standard fitting, so that is not a differentiator in this case. The third - and often decisive - factor is the actual price at your specific window size. Roman blind prices scale with width and drop, so the "from" price shown for the smallest possible blind rarely reflects what you will pay at a real window. One retailer may be meaningfully cheaper at one size and the other may pull ahead at a larger drop.
The sensible approach is to enter your exact measurements into the pricer below for both retailers and compare the totals side by side. The fabric is likely the same; the price at your size may not be.

We match these on the shared name and a price that scales the same way across window sizes, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed. Construction, exact colourway and fitting can vary between retailers - check the specification at each before buying.
