Our White Glove Process
Step 1 — Precision Measurement
Our master installer visits your home or project site to take exact measurements of every window, noting architectural details, light exposure, and hardware requirements. This is a full technical assessment that ensures flawless results.
Step 2 — Design Consultation
Working alongside your interior designer or directly with you, we select fabrics, styles, lining, and operating systems tailored to your vision. We bring swatches to your space so you can see how materials interact with your room’s natural light.
Step 3 — Artisan Fabrication
Every treatment is hand-sewn and assembled in our Manhattan workroom by craftspeople who have been with us for decades. We don’t outsource. Each pleat, seam, and motorized mechanism is inspected before it leaves our hands.
Step 4 — Professional Installation
Our in-house installation team handles mounting, alignment, and motorization programming. We test every mechanism, adjust every drape for perfect break, and walk you through operation — then we follow up to make sure everything remains flawless.
Step into a world of unparalleled elegance when you schedule your appointment with us. Allow our design experts to guide you in curating your dream space, where sophistication meets comfort in perfect harmony.
