Crushed velvet has the unmistakable crinkled sheen of a fabric that has been pressed and twisted to break up the pile - giving it that shifting, light-catching quality that makes it popular in living rooms and bedrooms where texture matters. As a roman blind fabric, it hangs in clean horizontal folds, so the surface detail reads well even when the blind is fully down.
Both 247 Blinds and Blinds 2go list a range simply called Crushed Velvet, and at the prices each charges it is likely the same wholesale cloth. The from-price gap between them is small, and pricing typically scales the same way across both shops as the window grows - a reliable tell that the fabric weight, construction, and backing are effectively identical. That said, the two retailers have chosen different colour edits, and that is where the practical difference lies.
247 Blinds carries five colours: Silver Grey, White, Black Noir, Ivory, and Steel - a neutral, low-saturation palette. Blinds 2go offers six colours - Obsidian, Light Bronze, Royal Blue, Steel, Warm Silver, and Rose Quartz - including Royal Blue and Rose Quartz for anyone wanting a richer or warmer tone. Steel appears at both retailers, so if that is your target colour you have a genuine price comparison to run.
Because the fabric is effectively fixed, the decision reduces to three questions. First, which shop carries the colour you want? Second, do both offer the fitting type your window needs - both list standard fitting only, so Perfect Fit and specialist roof-window brackets are not available on this range. Third, once you enter your exact width and drop into each retailer's pricer, which comes out cheaper at that specific size?

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.
