Barclay Noir is a roller blind fabric available from three UK retailers: Swift Direct Blinds, Blinds By Post, and So Easy Blinds. When the same fabric name appears at the same price points across independent retailers, that is a strong signal they are drawing from the same wholesale cloth - the pricing scales in a consistent pattern with window size, which is a hallmark of shared-source fabric rather than independent development. The comparison here hedges accordingly: this is likely the same fabric, though that is never guaranteed.
Because the fabric itself is likely fixed, the practical differences between retailers come down to three things. First, the colour range on offer: Swift Direct Blinds lists two colourways including Twist, while Blinds By Post carries four colourways and So Easy Blinds two. If a specific shade matters, check which retailer actually stocks it before comparing prices. Second, the fitting options: Blinds By Post covers the widest spread - standard, cassette, and motorised - which makes it the strongest choice if you want a box pelmet to hide the tube, or a motorised option. So Easy Blinds adds a perfect-fit route for UPVC windows, useful for renters or anyone who prefers a no-drill installation. Swift Direct Blinds offers standard fitting only.
Third, and most important, price varies across retailers and the headline "from" figure is measured at the smallest available size. A blind that appears cheaper at the entry size can cross over and become more expensive at a larger drop or wider width. The live pricer below calculates all three retailers at your exact dimensions - use that, not the from-prices, to make the decision.

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.
