101-Pacifica
This is a simple, flat style, with rear-facing stay pockets
that add detail to the front of the shade. The stays add
structure, giving this style a more tailored look than a
style without stays such as the 114-Tahoe.
If elegant simplicity is what you want, the 101-Pacifica is
the ideal solution. It is uncomplicated and versatile.
This shade can be made up in any fabric.

103-Balboa
"Hobbling" the face fabric onto the lining fabric at regular
intervals creates overlapping folds that cascade from top to
bottom. We use specially constructed tables to make this
popular and unique style.
Because the lining is essential to the hobbling, this shade
is always lined.
The flexibility of the design lends itself to all kinds of
fabric, from full-bodied, heavy fabrics to softer, more
pliable ones. Full-bodied fabrics tend to project forward,
while pliable fabrics tend to have a softer, wavier
appearance.

104-Laguna
Since there are no stay pockets or grommets in the
construction of this shade, large prints are displayed to
their best advantage with this style.
Small tack stitches (made to attach the cord rings) are
visible on the face of the shade, and add character.
This tailored shade is an ideal style choice for fabrics
with large prints or scenic patterns.
The 104-Laguna can be made up in any fabric. Tightly woven
fabrics have a tailored appearance, whereas softer fabrics
tend to have a relaxed look.
Shade construction is slightly different if the shade is
made up in a sheer fabric.
When first installed, the shade may need to be pulled up
fully and left in place for several days to establish pleat
memory.

105-California
As with all of our grommeted styles, the stays in the
105-California are clear acrylic. This ensures that they are
not visible through the fabric. This style has one grommet
pocket between two pleats of equal size.
The shade's lifting cords are routed through the grommets.
Large prints are interrupted by the grommeted folds at the
back of the shade.
This shade can be made up in any fabric. However, if the
fabric is sheer, the shade must be lined or the face fabric
will tear at the grommets.

106-Cardiff
As with all of our grommeted styles, the stays in the
106-Cardiff are clear acrylic. This ensures that they are
not visible through the fabric.
This shade can be made up in any fabric. However, if the
fabric is sheer, the shade must be lined or the face fabric
will tear at the grommets.
Large prints are interrupted by the grommeted folds.

112-Carmel
When the shade is raised, it has a tighter "stack" (the
amount of vertical space taken up by the raised shade) than
our other styles.
This style can be made up in any type of fabric. Large
prints are interrupted by the stay pockets.

114-Tahoe
The 114-Tahoe does not have any horizontal stitching or
grommets. This style is very similar to the 104-Laguna;
however, the 114-Tahoe does not have stays in the pleats. In
addition, the lifting cords are spaced farther apart. These
two differences give this shade a softer, more draped look
than the 104-Laguna. However, because of the lack of
structure, it might require dressing when the shade is
raised. When fully lowered, this style is flat, with a
straight bottom edge.
This style is an excellent choice for fabrics with large
scale or scenic patterns that look best without
interruption.
Small tack stitches (made to attach the cord rings) are
visible on the face of the shade, and add character.
This shade can be made up in any fabric. Tightly woven
fabrics have a tailored appearance, whereas softer fabrics
tend to have a relaxed appearance.
Shade construction is slightly different if the shade is
made up in a sheer fabric.
When first installed, the shade may need to be pulled up
fully and left in place for several days to establish pleat
memory.

124-Sonoma
The narrow tucked side panels are created by tacking the
fabric to the lining at each pleat. Side panels are 4 ¾" to
9" in width.
When made with soft, pliable fabrics, this shade swags
gracefully in the center.
This style is a good choice for fabrics with large scale or
scenic patterns that look best without interruption.
The finished height is measured from the top of the shade to
the top of the center swag. It and does not include the swag
or tails.

 |
201-Coronado
This style is made with 4" shirring across the top, and is
stapled to the headrail.
Soft, pliable fabrics drape nicely without much attention.
Heavier fabrics might require dressing each time the shade
is raised.
The bottom of the shade is pulled up at the back to create
the swagged appearance. This characteristic is visible from
the front if the shade is made in a sheer, unlined fabric.
Because of the amount of fabric in this style, the
201-Coronado can be very heavy.
|
 |
204-Windsor
Since this style has a lot of fullness, it is not
recommended for velvets or bulky fabrics.
The top of the shade is finished with shirring tape and a
self-welt.
Soft, pliable fabrics drape nicely without much attention.
Heavier fabrics might require dressing each time the shade
is raised.
The bottom of the shade is pulled up at the back to create
the swagged appearance. This characteristic is visible from
the front if the shade is made in a sheer, unlined fabric.
Because of the amount of fabric in this style, the
204-Windsor can be very heavy.
|

205-Belair
The bottom of the shade is pulled up at the back, in an
extended bottom hem, to create the poufs. This
characteristic is visible from the front if the shade is
made in a sheer, unlined fabric.
Because of the amount of fabric used in this style, a
205-Belair shade can be very heavy.

 |
209-Valencia
This style has a half box pleat on each side, which creates
the side tucks.
The center poufs and tails are created by pulling up several
inches of fabric at the bottom, several inches in from each
side, and permanently fixing it in place. This
characteristic is visible from the front if the shade is
made in a sheer, unlined fabric.
Soft, pliable fabrics tend to drape nicely without much
attention. Heavier fabrics might require dressing each time

 |
244-Capistrano
This shade is a good choice for a softer look with a touch
of formality.
Wide shades will have more than one pouf.
This style has an extended bottom hem. At each side of the
shade, the fabric is gathered onto the cord and permanently
tied off to the finished height. This characteristic is
visible from the front if the shade is made in a sheer,
unlined fabric.
This style is suitable for most fabrics; however, very heavy
fabrics such as upholstery fabrics are not a good choice.
Large prints and geometric designs are not recommended,
since the center pleat interrupts the pattern.

 |
250-Montecito
The fullness of this style is created after the grommets are
applied by gathering the fabric to match the width of the
headrail. The shade's lifting cords are routed through the
grommets. The bottom of the shade is pulled up at the back,
in an extended bottom hem.
The 250-Montecito looks best when made up with a sheer
fabric. However, if the fabric is sheer, the shade must be
lined or the face fabric will tear at the grommets. Because
of the weight and drape, this style is not appropriate for
heavy fabrics or blackout lining.

 |
251-Austrian
The 251-Austrian has horizontal fullness of 133%, and
vertical fullness of 300%. It is our most fabric-rich style.
This style looks particularly elegant when made up with a
sheer fabric.
Because of its fullness, the 251-Austrian is not appropriate
for heavy fabrics or blackout lining. |
