In the world of custom textiles, the header defines the architectural soul of the room. It dictates how the fabric falls, how it moves, and how much space it occupies when gathered.
RIPPLE FOLD
The Ripple Fold is defined by continuous, undulating waves that glide along a dedicated track system. It offers a streamlined appearance with minimal visual interruption, making it the premier choice for contemporary interiors.
Best For: Modern spaces seeking a clean, linear aesthetic.
Hardware: Requires a track system to maintain its consistent wave pattern.
Stack-back: 25–35% of coverage width.
PINCH PLEAT
A timeless standard, the Pinch Pleat features two gentle pleats hand-sewn at the header. This creates a soft, controlled fullness that feels equally at home in a traditional library or a modern living room.
Best For: Versatile applications; it balances formal structure with a relaxed drape.
Hardware: Compatible with a rod and rings or a track system.
Stack-back: 25–35% of coverage width.
TRIPLE PINCH PLEAT
For windows that require a more substantial presence, the Triple Pinch Pleat uses three hand-sewn pleats per gather. This creates deeper, more dramatic folds and a fuller drape than the standard pinch pleat.
Best For: Formal, traditional spaces or large-scale windows.
Hardware: Works best with a rod and rings or a track.
Stack-back: 30–35% of coverage width.
TAILORED PLEAT
The Tailored Pleat features sharp vertical pleats stitched flat at the top, which then release into soft, architectural folds below. It is a sophisticated middle ground that offers tactile warmth without sacrificing modern restraint.
Best For: Transitional and contemporary interiors.
Hardware: Rod with rings or track.
Stack-back: Our most efficient style at 20–35% of coverage width.
INVERTED PLEAT
By folding the pleats inward, the Inverted Pleat creates a header that reads as nearly flat, while the fabric below maintains a soft, voluminous body. It provides a sense of presence and depth without the visual "busy-ness" of traditional pleating.
Best For: Minimalist spaces where you want clean lines and hidden depth.
Technical Note: Built with a slightly lower 200% fullness for a smoother front.
Stack-back: 25–35% of coverage width.
