About Leslies
Curtains & Blinds Since 1965
Leslie’s Curtains and Blinds opened in 1965 as the first independently owned specialist curtain retailer in Perth, Western Australia.
Right from the start, Leslie’s offered superior value for money to its loyal customers, with an enviable reputation for excellence in quality and service. In fact, many of our clients today are the children and even the grandchildren of our original customers in the 1960s.
We are very proud of our strong heritage and it makes us happy to know that we offer the same customer service and product quality that set us apart from other soft furnishings companies when we first opened. We trade from the same location – our satisfied customers can still, as ever, find us on Canning Highway in Applecross.
Leslie’s Curtains and Blinds has a twofold philosophy of ‘value for money’ and ‘achieving perfection.’ We therefore consider that our attention to detail, meticulous production processes and emphasis on customer service are all essential parts of the way we enact our philosophy.
Leslie’s constantly adopts the best practices within the interior décor industry. We use only the best quality fabrics and materials. We also utilise quoting and specification technology that saves on time and practically eliminates errors from our production processes. And we are committed to selling products that reduce environmental impact in both their construction and use.
Leslie’s operates on the basis of customer satisfaction – our business thrives purely on repeat customers and word of mouth advertising. This is all the evidence you need of our commitment to you and your interior décor needs.
Our view at Leslie’s is that a company cannot provide superior curtains and blinds services without a formidable wealth of industry experience and a strong network of fabric suppliers.
Our friendly staff have decades of experience in the window treatment industry and possess deep knowledge in design and production. They are also qualified in interior design and colour selection.
We also have a worldwide network of top-rate suppliers for our fabrics, blinds, screens and shutters. Our partnerships for blinds, wall coverings and external screening are based on a detailed research, keeping up with trends which enables us to source the best quality manufacturers in Australia.
