Alendel Maldive Fabric
1 colourway, print, 54 in wide. Every swatch and every Alendel specification, from the workroom that sews it in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
A botanical print in 1 colourway, 54 in wide, a 19.5 by 54.33 in repeat
Alendel lists Maldive as a print in 1 colourway, in 100% cotton, at 54 in wide. The single colour is Serene, filed by Alendel under grey. Flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's C.I. Essence Book.
The 54 in width runs up the roll, so panels are made of joined widths with the seams hidden in the pleats, and a Roman shade under about 50 inches finished is cut from a single width. The repeat is vertical 19.5 in, horizontal 54.33 in, matched across seams and from window to window, so the yardage is figured on the repeat rather than the finished size. Cotton takes a print with a soft matte face; like linen it wants a lining that carries the UV load, and on a west-facing window we line generously so the face does not fade. It weighs 0.77 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, which is on the light side. Care is P (professional dry clean); Alendel's own line reads: dry clean in perchloroethylene gentle cycle. It carries NFPA 260 and UFAC Class 1, the upholstery flammability listings. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: Spain.
What Maldive does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
We make Maldive up as draperies and as Roman shades, and the two are ordered from one bolt so the repeat and the dye lot match from room to room. A botanical print shows best on a flat-fold Roman, where the folds do not break the design.
Light and privacy
Closed, Maldive gives full privacy. What the room looks like closed comes from the lining we sew in: light-filtering for living areas, interlining for body and acoustics, blackout for bedrooms. The lining also carries the UV load off the face cloth.
Cloth and care
100% cotton; 0.77 lb per yard; care P (professional dry clean); 90,000 rubs abrasion. Cotton and linen are lined here for the sun, and they move a little with the humidity, which is part of the look. Listed as Oeko-Tex.
Limitations
At 54 in a wide panel is made of joined widths; the seams sit inside the pleats, and the repeat is matched at every seam, which costs yardage. Not for a wet bathroom or a shower window.

Width, content, repeat, care code, fire listings and weight per yard are Alendel's own listing for each colourway, captured from its trade catalogue; the stock flag is Alendel's public availability filter on the day we read it and is confirmed against the order before anything is cut. We bring the Alendel books to the consultation.
Where Maldive works here
On a Coral Gables or Boca Raton house Maldive runs as pinch pleat or Euro pleat panels on decorative rods in the main rooms and as flat-fold Roman shades over the kitchen sink and in the powder room, matched bolt for bolt. Every panel and shade comes out of the same Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our own team installs from Miami to Palm Beach.
For the same use, compare Maldive with Domingo (print, 54 in, 2 colourways), Fiji (print, 54 in, 2 colourways) and Bahama (print, 54 in, 1 colourway); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Maldive: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Maldive come in?
1 colourway by Alendel's listing, flagged in stock by Alendel. Every one is on this page with its swatch, colour code and FB item number, and we bring the shortlist to the consultation so the colour is judged in your own light.
Is Maldive a fire-rated fabric?
Alendel lists it as passing NFPA 260 and UFAC Class 1, which are upholstery tests rather than the drapery flame test. For a residence that is not an issue; for a commercial or condo common-area job that asks for NFPA 701 we would pick a listed cloth or arrange a treated lining and a certificate for the project.
Do you match the Maldive repeat?
Always. Alendel lists the repeat at vertical 19.5 in, horizontal 54.33 in, and we match it across every seam and every window in the room, so the yardage is figured on the repeat rather than the finished size and is part of the quote.
What does Maldive cost made up as Roman shades and draperies?
It is quoted from the yardage: the width and height of the window, the fullness, the repeat if there is one, the lining and the track or rod. The pricing page has real numbers for sheers, motorized tracks and blackout draperies, and a quote for Maldive follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
