Why We’re Sew Into 'Shigemi': Its damask toile print, where ornate urns with luxuriant blooms are framed by twirling floral vines, bringing vintage charm to modern homes Its classical palette of navy blue and white, where French toile flexes its signature charm Its colorfast poly fabric, where beauty lasts, undimmed by time, weather and usage HomeSewn Wisdom: Choose the French pinch pleat style: Style Bel Canto toile curtains in a triple pinch pleat style to honor their French heritage - a pairing that feels innately at home, with both the motif and pleat tracing back to classic French design sensibilities. If you prefer a more modern take, consider Euro pinch pleat styles, which lend the same sculptural charm in a pared-down manner. Pair with stripes and checks: When styling a space with these toile curtains, bring stripes and checks in other furnishing elements for a striking contrast. This will not only balance the intricacy of toile with the simplicity of straight lines, but also make the overall design story more colored, layered and intriguing. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Shigemi as a sleek and stylish alternative to curtains. They will offer you the same designer appeal as drapes without commanding any more space than the window itself. Order swatches: Screens may lie; swatches don’t. For the most accurate representation of color, pattern and texture, order a sample of the Shigemi fabric before placing your window treatments order. This will allow you to experience the fabric in your own lighting and setting, so you can commit to it with confidence. Coordinate with accessories: For a cohesive bespoke look, coordinate your curtains with other textile accessories in the room. Order matching cushions, bed runners, table covers, etc. from us or buy Shigemi fabric by the yard to create something uniquely yours. The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty): Prices are per panel, not per pair because sometimes all you need is a solo act on a narrow attic window. No forcing you to spend on two where one will do. Hardware is not included with our drapes, so please be prepared with poles, rings and other pretty little things. Each drapery panel at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
