Saffron is a Roman blind fabric sold under the same name by two UK retailers - Swift Direct Blinds and Make My Blinds. The identical naming, near-identical starting prices, and a shared set of colour names (Ghost, Ash, Linen, Frost, Hessian, Ebony, Apple) all point to this being likely the same wholesale cloth sourced through a common supplier. Neither retailer publishes its supply chain, so it is impossible to confirm, but the evidence is strong enough to treat them as functionally equivalent for planning purposes.
Because the fabric is almost certainly fixed, the choice between retailers comes down to three things the price cards below will make clear: the colour range on offer, the fittings available, and the actual price at your specific window size.
On colour range, Swift Direct Blinds carries eleven shades including Terracotta, Charcoal, Ink, and Blossom that Make My Blinds does not list. Make My Blinds offers eight, adding Crimson as its only exclusive. If a particular tone matters to your scheme, check both lists before committing.
Both retailers offer standard fitting only, so neither has an advantage there.
Pricing follows the same made-to-measure logic on both sites - the cost rises with the area of the blind rather than width or drop alone. That means a narrow but tall window may cost the same as a wide but shallow one of equal area, and the lower-priced option at a small size may not be the lower-priced option at yours. Use the size pricer below with your exact measurements before deciding.

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.
