I bought the beaded curtain in Stefany's shop on Portobello Road in the late 70's or early 80's. I remember clearly that it was coiled in a corner at the back of the store. Stefany was not there that day. And I had to carry it on the airplane in a garment bag because it was too awkward to pack and ship at the last minute or include with my luggage. I have collected five more in Beijing during the past ten years. And I'm always pleased to hear compliments about two curtains which are hanging in my home.
