Messina is a stiffened polyester vertical blind fabric that turns up at two UK retailers - Blinds By Post and So Easy Blinds - carrying the same name and an identical colour lineup: Femme, Raven, Riviera, Sky, Warmth, and Whisper. When the same fabric name appears across independent retailers with a matching palette, it is likely the same wholesale cloth in each case. That matters to you as a buyer because it shifts the decision away from quality guesswork and towards the details the fabric itself cannot tell you: price at your specific width and drop, and which shop you find easier to deal with.

Both retailers offer the standard fitting on Messina, so there is no functional advantage to be found in the fittings column. The six colours span a neutral range - soft whites and warm tones at one end, deeper slate and near-black at the other - which suits the broad range of spaces where vertical blinds are most useful: wide patio doors, large glazed areas, and conservatories where horizontal slats would be awkward to operate.

What the colour count hides is that the from-prices shown for each retailer reflect their smallest available size. Vertical blind pricing scales considerably with width and drop, and a large patio-door window can cost several times the headline figure. The relative value of each retailer shifts at different sizes, so the only reliable comparison is to price your exact window at both shops before ordering. The colour you need will be the same regardless of where you buy; the saving is in the size-by-size price difference.

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.
