A luxury alternative to the more traditional Pencil Pleat, this opulent heading is made with individual double or triple pleats sewn together at equal lengths across the fabric – leaving you with an exquisite fullness that can become a stunning feature when paired with the right fabric.
Making the difference
Grand appearance
The indulgent design of Pinch Pleat headings makes them ideal for more formal settings or to complement sophisticated décor or stylings.
Smart spacing
Whether neatly tied back or gracefully drawn across, each pleat will always stay perfectly uniformed – guaranteeing a rich and full look for any fabric.
A perfect fit
With adjustable hooks in the back of each pleat, the heading can work at different levels to accommodate for small differences – such as uneven floors or ceilings.
Styled for any room
Pinch Pleat headings will hang beautifully on either a track or curtain pole, making them a striking feature for a master bedroom or eye-catching window bay.
Double pinch pleat
With two pleats sewn into the fabric, this heading can help a room feel more luxurious with a thicker and fuller look. Ideal if you are thinking of choosing a deluxe fabric that will benefit from extra volume.
Triple pinch pleat
Also known as French pleats, this extra pinch across the heading helps the fabric make an even bolder impression whether tied back or drawn for all to see, making it a strong choice for dress curtains.

Should I have Pinch Pleat headings with a curtain pole or track?
It depends on the window you are trying to furnish but either will work. Curtain poles are best for smaller or standard window spaces, where tracks are useful for large spaces or more complex shapes such as bay windows.
What curtain poles can I choose for a Pinch Pleat heading?
Pinch Pleat headings can be paired with any of our curtain pole collections. Our wooden range – Harvest, Elemental and Boutique – and our metal range – Manor and Refined.
What tracks can I choose for a Pinch Pleat heading?
Pinch Pleat headings can only be paired with our Metropole Track.
What fullness can I have Pinch Pleat curtains made to?
Our Pinch Pleat curtains will be made to double fullness as standard to ensure that the fabric hangs evenly whenever they are drawn. Although with their unique pinch design, the fabric may already appear richer and fuller than other curtain styles.
