Picture an east-facing bedroom at 7am. Sunlight cuts across the bed at a low angle, too bright to sleep through, too beautiful to block completely.
You want something that softens the glare and keeps the room feeling open. Blackout lining is overkill. The Cloe Cotton Blend Drapery Soft Top is built for exactly that gap.
The Cloe sits at 300 gsm with a horizontal slub texture and a 62% polyester / 37% cotton blend that filters rather than blocks light. It does so identically on both sides, which matters when natural light reflects off the back of the panel into the room.
At from $99 per panel made to order, it is not the cheapest option on the market. But the combination of mid-weight body, 17 color options, and a Soft Top header that plays nicely with most rod types makes it one of the more versatile custom drapes at this price tier.
This review works through pricing by configuration first, then use-case fit, then specs and color range, then drape and light behavior. By the end you will know exactly when the Cloe is the right answer and when a different Two Pages SKU makes more sense.

Pricing by Configuration
The Cloe Soft Top starts at $99 per panel unlined. Final price climbs with drop length, added width, and lining choice.
Two Pages uses a per-panel pricing model, so a four-panel bay window costs four times the single-panel rate at the same configuration. That math is worth running before you reach the configurator.
Lining is where most buyers underestimate the jump. Privacy lining adds modest cost and meaningfully changes the light behavior.
Blackout or thermal blackout push the price higher and shift the Cloe into a completely different performance category. If your goal is that soft morning glow, staying unlined or with privacy lining is the right call.
Pricing by Configuration
Cloe Soft Top: Estimated Price Range per Panel
Unlined
from $99
Standard drop, Soft Top header. Light-filtering at its most transparent. Best for layering over sheers.
Privacy Lining
~$115-130
Adds a white backing, reduces glare, preserves soft-light character. The sweet spot for east-facing bedrooms.
Blackout Lining
~$140-165
Full room-darkening. Changes the Cloe’s character entirely. Consider the Atlanta blackout for this use case instead.
Price estimates based on standard panel sizes. Use Two Pages configurator for exact quote at your dimensions.
What the Price Includes
Every Cloe Soft Top panel ships made to order at your specified drop and width. The 1.5-inch bottom hem and standard header are included.
The fabric width at loom is 112 inches, which means most single-window installs come from a single fabric cut. For multi-panel orders, request panels from the same dye lot run to avoid subtle color variation across windows.
Who Is the Cloe Soft Top For?
The Cloe occupies a specific sweet spot: mid-weight, light-filtering, casual header. That profile fits some rooms perfectly and is the wrong answer for others. The use-case logic below is honest about both sides.
Best Room Fits
Who Is the Cloe Soft Top For?
East or West-Facing Bedroom
The 300 gsm body softens strong directional light without turning the room dark. Privacy lining sharpens the effect without going blackout.
Open-Plan Kitchen or Dining
Light-filtering keeps the room bright. The horizontal slub texture adds visual interest without competing with food or decor. Unlined is usually enough here.
Home Office with Screen Glare
A sheer does nothing against screen glare; blackout kills the room. The Cloe splits the difference: diffuses light, reduces hotspots, keeps the space usable at midday.
Living Room with Bay Window
Recto-verso identical texture and color means the panels read cleanly from outside, important when multiple panels face the street at different angles.
When to Pick a Different Two Pages SKU
If you need genuine blackout performance, the Cloe with blackout lining is a workaround; a purpose-built blackout drape like the Atlanta is a better starting point. If you want a heavier body for a formal living room, the Cloe at 300 gsm will look lightweight next to furniture at that scale.
Want the Heavier 500 gsm Cotton Option?
The Isabella Soft Top uses the same casual header format but packs a significantly heavier body at 500 gsm. Full comparison of drape weight and light control in our dedicated review.
Fabric, Specs, and Color Range
The blend math on the Cloe is worth understanding before you order. The 62% polyester majority delivers wrinkle resistance, colorfastness, and the structural integrity that keeps a 300 gsm panel hanging flat after repeated open-and-close cycles. The 37% cotton minority delivers the warmer hand, the subtle horizontal slub texture, and the matte finish that reads as soft rather than synthetic from across the room.
The horizontal slub texture is the detail that distinguishes the Cloe visually from smoother cotton-blend competitors. Slub weave creates micro-variation in thread thickness along the horizontal axis, catching light differently as the angle changes through the day.
The effect is subtle in neutral tones like Ivory and Beige, more pronounced in deeper colors like Denim and Dark Grey. Crucially, the texture and color are identical on both sides of the panel, so the view from outside is as intentional as the view from inside.

Header Style Visualizer
The Cloe Soft Top is named for its header style, but the fabric body is also available in Pleated and Grommet configurations. The three headers produce meaningfully different aesthetics from the same 300 gsm cotton blend. Choosing the right one upfront saves a re-order.
Header Style Visualizer
Cloe Cotton Blend , 3 Header Families
Soft Top
This review’s subject
Rod pocket, back tab, or concealed loop header. Casual and versatile. The easiest install in the Cloe lineup.
- Best for: everyday rooms, renters, layered setups
- Hardware mostly hidden
- Lowest install difficulty
Pleated
Formal header option
Pinch pleat, French, goblet, and more. Adds tailored drape behavior to the same 300 gsm body. Slightly higher price per panel.
- Best for: living rooms, primary bedrooms
- Requires traverse rod or hook system
- Crisper, more structured look
Grommet
Modern ring header
Metal grommets punch through the header, rod threads through rings. Casual-modern aesthetic. Creates even wave folds across the panel.
- Best for: contemporary spaces, visible rod setups
- Hardware visible from front
- Easy open-and-close motion
Soft Top is the most forgiving header on a 300 gsm body. Pleated adds formality; Grommet adds contemporary edge. All three use the identical Cloe cotton blend fabric.
Drape, Light, and Finish
At 300 gsm, the Cloe sits in the heavyweight category by casual drape standards, though it is considerably lighter than the Isabella’s 500 gsm body. In practical terms, a 300 gsm cotton blend panel falls with visible weight, tracks softly on the rod, and does not require steaming into shape after hanging. The horizontal slub texture provides enough visual structure that fold lines from shipping disappear within a few days of hanging.
Light behavior is where the Cloe’s design intent is clearest. Unlined, it softens and warms direct sunlight into a diffused glow. The cotton content in the blend scatters light slightly more than a polyester-only panel would, producing a warmer color temperature through the fabric.
If you have ever noticed that linen curtains make a room feel golden on a sunny day, the Cloe produces a similar effect at a more accessible price point and with better colorfastness. This overview of cotton fiber properties explains why even a 37% cotton component changes the visual result.
The identical recto-verso finish is not a marketing detail, it is a practical one. On a light-filtering panel, strong backlighting reveals the back face of the fabric to anyone outside.
If that back face has a different color or texture from the front, the window reads inconsistently from the street. The Cloe handles this correctly: both sides match identically, so the panel looks deliberate from every angle.
Lining Options
How Lining Changes the Cloe’s Character
Unlined
Maximum light scatter, warm diffused glow. Best for kitchens and dining rooms where brightness matters. Light from outside is visible as silhouette at night.
Privacy Lining
White backing reduces silhouette visibility at night. Still light-filtering during the day. The best all-round choice for bedrooms and home offices.
Blackout
Full room-darkening. Changes the Cloe’s character entirely. Consider this for night-shift sleepers or media rooms where the slub texture is secondary to performance.
Thermal Blackout
Blackout plus insulating layer. Worth adding in rooms with cold-air infiltration around window frames, especially in older homes with single-pane glass.
Two Pages Service, Lead Time, and Ordering
The Cloe Soft Top is made to order. That means the 10-12 day lead time starts when you submit the order, not when you add to cart.
Plan around that window if you are decorating for an event or a move-in date. The benefit of made-to-order is exact sizing at your specified drop and width, no cutting to fit, no hem adjustments needed.
The dye lot note is important for multi-panel orders. Two Pages uses dye lot production, meaning the same color code ordered three months apart may show subtle shade variation. For a bay window or a room requiring four or more panels, order all panels in the same transaction to guarantee they come from the same production run.

The Kyla Linen Soft Top sits below the Cloe in weight and price. Good fit for high windows, sheer-adjacent layering, and rooms where you want maximum daytime brightness with minimal panel bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cloe actually a cotton curtain if it is 62% polyester?
The Cloe is a cotton blend, not a pure cotton curtain. The composition is 62% polyester and 37% cotton. The polyester majority delivers wrinkle resistance, colorfastness, and the structural weight that keeps a 300 gsm panel hanging flat without sagging.
The 37% cotton delivers the warmer hand, the horizontal slub texture, and the matte light scatter that reads differently from a 100% synthetic drape. For most decorating applications, the blend behavior is a feature rather than a compromise.
How does 300 gsm compare to other Two Pages soft top drapes?
Within the Two Pages soft top range, 300 gsm places the Cloe in the mid-to-upper weight tier. The Kyla Linen Soft Top sits lighter at approximately 220 gsm. The Jawara Linen Cotton Soft Top runs around 280 gsm.
The Isabella Soft Top sits significantly heavier at 500 gsm. For most casual rooms, 300 gsm produces a confident fall without the rod-strength demands a 500 gsm body requires.
What header styles are available on the Cloe Soft Top?
The Cloe fabric body is available in three header families: Soft Top (rod pocket, back tab, or concealed loop), Pleated (pinch pleat, French, goblet, and related formal headers), and Grommet (metal ring, rod threads through).
This review covers the Soft Top header specifically. The Pleated header adds formality and a higher price per panel. The Grommet adds a contemporary aesthetic with visible hardware from the front.
Does the Cloe block light or just filter it?
Unlined or with privacy lining, the Cloe filters light rather than blocking it. Direct afternoon sun is reduced to a soft, diffused glow. Silhouettes are visible through the panel when strong backlighting is present.
For genuine room-darkening, configure the Cloe with blackout lining. The light-filtering character is the Cloe’s strongest quality for bedrooms, offices, and kitchens where you want brightness without direct glare.
What is the lead time for the Cloe Soft Top?
Two Pages lists a 10-12 day lead time for the Cloe Soft Top. Production begins after order placement; that window covers manufacturing only, and shipping is additional.
This is a made-to-order product, so timelines do not flex based on urgency. If your install date is firm, place your order at least three weeks before you need the panels hanging.
Are there dye lot differences between Cloe orders?
Yes. Dye lots apply to the Cloe. Two Pages sources fabric in production runs, and subtle color variation can occur between runs of the same color code.
For multi-panel installs, order all panels in the same transaction. If expanding an install later, contact Two Pages with your original order details before reordering. The color may not match perfectly even at the same color code.
Which lining should I add to the Cloe for a bedroom?
For most bedrooms, privacy lining is the right call. It adds a white backing that eliminates the nighttime silhouette effect while preserving the Cloe’s light-filtering daytime behavior.
If you work night shifts or need total darkness, configure blackout or thermal blackout lining instead. The unlined version is generally too transparent for bedrooms where street-facing visibility is a concern.
Can I return the Cloe Soft Top if the color does not match?
No. All Two Pages custom curtains are made-to-order and final sale once production begins. The correct sequence: request swatches, compare them under your room lighting at different times of day, then configure and order.
Swatches for the Cloe color range ship within a few days. Skipping that step is the most common reason for color-mismatch disappointment on custom drape orders.
Which Version to Buy
This fabric is sold in 3 versions, and they all start from the same $99 per panel. What separates them is not the cloth or the price, it is how the top is finished and how the panel operates.
Same cloth throughout, so ignore the fabric line and choose on the heading and the mechanism instead.
| Heading | Best for |
|---|---|
| Soft top (this page) | The cheapest way into this fabric |
| Grommet | Curtains you slide open and shut every day |
| Pleated | A tailored fall that keeps its folds |

The Cloe Soft Top earns its place in the Two Pages lineup by doing one thing well: delivering 300 gsm mid-weight drape behavior in a light-filtering cotton blend, across 17 colors and three header families. The horizontal slub texture and recto-verso finish are the details that separate it visually from generic polyester-majority drapes at similar price points.
The made-to-order final-sale policy and the 10-12 day lead time are the trade-offs that come with the custom sizing advantage. Order swatches, verify color in your own room light, and use code JULY for 20% off at checkout.
