Emily Bond is a British designer whose hand-drawn, slightly tongue-in-cheek prints - the dachshund best known among them - have become a fixture of country-leaning interiors. The designs are licensed and reproduced as made-to-measure blinds by several UK retailers, which is why you can buy an Emily Bond blind in Basil or St Maws from more than one shop, at prices that are worth comparing.
Emily Bond blinds are sold by 6 UK retailers we track, from £16.99, as roller and roman blinds. The same named designs turn up across these shops at near-identical prices - a strong sign it is the same licensed cloth - so the choice comes down to price, construction and fitting rather than the fabric itself.
The thing worth knowing before you buy
Emily Bond designs are licensed prints, not a single retailer's own range. The same design - the same artwork, at the same scale - is supplied to several shops, each of which sells it under its own range name and pricing. That has a useful consequence: when you see "Emily Bond Basil roman blind" at several retailers, it is almost certainly the same cloth, so the sensible thing is to compare on price, on the construction (lined or unlined, blackout or not), and on the fitting - not to agonise over which shop has the "real" fabric. They all do.
Below, each design lists the retailers we track that currently sell it, ordered by price from low to high, with a link through to each one.
Basil
If you know one Emily Bond design, it is this one. Basil is the dachshund print the collection is built around - a repeat of long-bodied sausage dogs, drawn with enough wit to be charming rather than twee. It is the most widely stocked design in the range, which is exactly why it pays to compare: the same Basil cloth is sold at several shops, and the price gap from one to the next is the whole reason this page exists.
It suits a roman fold particularly well, where the repeat sits flat and readable, though it is also sold as a roller and in no-drill fittings. The soft Stone and Pebble grounds keep it from feeling loud, so it works in a kitchen or a boot room as easily as a child's bedroom.
Carried by 5 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £23.05
- Wilsons Blinds from £27.66
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
Oscar Stripe
For a plainer scheme that still wants some personality, Oscar Stripe is the pick of the collection. It is a hand-drawn stripe rather than a printed line, so the brushed, slightly uneven edges read as a proper textile rather than a flat graphic. That makes it far more forgiving in a room than a crisp geometric stripe, and it sits happily alongside the busier designs if you are mixing patterns.
Carried by 3 of the retailers we track:
- Blinds By Post from £23.28
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Shade & Story from £41.00
St Maws
St Maws is the pictorial one - a coastal design named for the Cornish harbour village, and the design to choose if you want the blind to tell a small story rather than just carry a pattern. It is carried across several of the retailers we track, so despite being one of the more distinctive designs it is still straightforward to price-check.
Carried by 5 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Wilsons Blinds from £27.66
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
The rest of the collection
The designs below are each sold by at least two of the retailers we track, so the same price comparison applies. Colourways vary between shops, so it is worth clicking through to see which grounds each retailer carries.
George Stripe
The companion to Oscar - a hand-drawn stripe in a different weight and spacing. Worth putting side by side with Oscar Stripe before you choose, since the two are easy to confuse from a thumbnail.
Carried by 3 of the retailers we track:
- Blinds Direct from £24.51
- Blinds By Post from £25.90
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
Alice
A quieter design in the collection, sold here in Stone - the sort of neutral that carries a pattern without dominating a room. Available in both roller and roman formats across the retailers that stock it.
Carried by 5 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £23.05
- Wilsons Blinds from £27.66
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
Peggy
One of the more widely stocked designs, offered in Smoke and Raspberry among other colourways. A useful one to compare because the same design turns up at several shops at once.
Carried by 5 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Wilsons Blinds from £27.66
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
Yew Tree
A botanical design sold in Linen and Mulberry grounds, and among the collection's most widely carried - which makes it a natural candidate for a price comparison rather than a single-shop purchase.
Carried by 4 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Blinds Direct from £24.51
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
Marley
Sold in a deep Coal colourway among others, one of the darker, more dramatic designs in the range - suited to a scheme that wants the blind to be a feature rather than a background.
Carried by 5 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Wilsons Blinds from £27.66
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
Tynesfield
A design carried across several of the retailers we track, offered in colourways including Pollen and Forest. The kind of pattern that reads differently in a bright ground than a muted one, so the colourway decision matters more than usual here.
Carried by 4 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Blinds Direct from £24.51
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
Fred
Sold in a natural Linen ground, one of the calmer designs and an easy fit for a room that wants texture more than statement. Available made to measure in roller and roman.
Carried by 4 of the retailers we track:
- Unbeatable Blinds from £16.99
- Blinds By Post from £23.05
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
Jaipur
A busier, more decorative design offered in Pollen, Smoke and Raspberry - the most ornate of the widely stocked patterns, and the one that most rewards a wide window where the full repeat can show.
Carried by 3 of the retailers we track:
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Blinds Direct from £24.51
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
Globe
A botanical design carried by several of the retailers we track. Worth a price check for the same reason as the rest of the collection: it is the same licensed design wherever it is sold.
Carried by 3 of the retailers we track:
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
Millie
One of the collection's designs stocked across a handful of the retailers we track, so the sensible thing is to compare on price and construction rather than assume one shop's version is different.
Carried by 3 of the retailers we track:
- Blinds By Post from £21.94
- Terrys Fabrics from £28.99
- Blinds Direct from £73.93
How to choose
The choice within Emily Bond is almost entirely about the design, because the cloth and the made-to-measure fitting are much the same across the collection. Decide first whether you want a character print (Basil, St Maws, Jaipur), a quieter neutral (Alice, Fred), or a hand-drawn stripe (Oscar, George) - that narrows it quickly. Then let the colourway follow the room: the same design in a Stone ground reads as a soft neutral, and in Smoke or Mulberry as something far more deliberate.
Whichever you land on, the last step is the one this page is built for: check the same design at each retailer that carries it, because the price difference is real and the fabric is not.
