The Myth range from Blinds By Post is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 2 colours, starting from £12.35. It is a deliberately small, light-filtering louvre collection built around soft cream tones, for windows where you want gentle, neutral light control rather than a wide colour choice.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds hang as a row of fabric louvres that tilt to angle the light and draw to one side to clear the glass, which makes them a sensible choice for wide windows, patio doors and conservatories where a single fabric panel would be unwieldy. Myth keeps to a quiet, warm-neutral palette, so it suits living rooms, bedrooms and studies that want an understated, light backdrop rather than a colour statement.
Because each louvre tilts independently of the draw, you can admit angled daylight while keeping a degree of privacy, then pull the blind aside for the full view. On a bright window the tilt is the main draw, letting you soften glare through the day without closing the window off entirely.
Across a conservatory or a run of patio doors, where the area to cover is large, the draw-to-one-side action is the practical advantage: the louvres stack to clear the whole opening rather than lifting a single heavy panel. The pale, warm Myth tones also keep a large expanse of fabric feeling light rather than heavy, which suits a room meant to read as calm and airy.
The colours
2 colours available
The Myth collection is intentionally compact: Flax and Hemp give two soft cream tones that sit close together in the warm-neutral register. Rather than a broad chart of brights, this is a pair of coordinated naturals, so the choice is simply which of the two warm shades suits your room and the light it gets. Because the two are closely related, and because colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, it is worth requesting a sample of both before committing to a full-sized blind.

Vertical blinds are among the more affordable made-to-measure styles, and Myth sits at an accessible entry point. Only the standard fitting is offered, so the from-price is the clear starting point and the final cost tracks the size of your window rather than the choice of fitting.
How it compares
As a fabric louvre blind, Myth is a light-filtering style: the louvres reduce and soften daylight rather than block it, and the overlaps between slats always let a little light through, so it is not a blackout option. For a fully dark bedroom, a roller or pleated blind in a blackout fabric would be the better choice, and the pale cream tones here will filter rather than darken a room.
Against a roller, a vertical blind swaps the single flat panel for tilt-and-draw flexibility that handles wide spans and doors, where a roller is simpler but fixed as one sheet. Against a horizontal venetian, the vertical louvres cope better with tall or door-height openings and clear to the side rather than stacking at the head, and the soft fabric gives a gentler look than hard slats. Among made-to-measure styles generally, a vertical blind like Myth is one of the more economical ways to dress a wide or door-height window in a quiet, neutral cloth.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are straightforward to keep clean. Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, and lift marks with a damp cloth rather than soaking the fabric, which matters a little more with pale cream tones that show marks readily. A useful advantage of the style is that a single damaged or stained louvre can be replaced on its own, so one accident need not mean replacing the whole blind. Draw the louvres flat and tilt them open before cleaning to reach the full face of each slat.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Myth vertical blinds are sold under the same name by more than one UK retailer, and the price scales identically across window sizes - a strong sign it is the same fabric from the same supplier:
- Blinds By Post this page from £12.35
- Blinds Direct from £43.20
- So Easy Blinds from £51.57
- Vertical Blinds Direct from £60.78
- Wilsons Blinds from £71.50
We match these on the shared name and an identical price curve, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed - and check the specification and colour at each retailer before buying.
