You may supply your own fabric for use on our soft shades. To ensure suitability your account manager will ask you to supply a swatch of the fabric along with the following information:
• Full name and description of fabric and supplier website product page link.
• Name and size of product fabric will be used on.
• Type of Pleat required.
• Total quantity of product required, so that yardage can be advised.
The Sample must be clearly labelled with:
• The front of the fabric.
• The direction of pattern or weave required.
Your choice of silk is pleat gathered around a metal framework and then hand-stitched and finished at the top and bottom.
All our silk shades may be specified in any colour from the Henry Bertrand or Pongees Silk Duppion ranges. These silks are hand woven and dyed with vegetable dyes. Silk Douppion has a characteristic slubb running through the weave, which creates a pleasing irregular texture.
Sample cards are available from our showrooms, but please note samples are an indication of colour only. Please contact the showroom for a sample booklet or fill out the form on our Samples page.
Pleat gathered silk shades have a stretched ivory lining as standard.
Different styles of pleat and lining options are available; please contact the showrooms to discuss your requirements.

Cream Card Shades are designed to compliment the design of the light. All fittings are white as standard.
Some of our table lamps come with a Cream Pinprick Card Shade, which have small piercings in a diamond pattern to scatter the light in a pleasing manner.
In order to maintain and preserve the shade we recommend wiping gently with a damp clean soft cloth. Please note direct sunlight may cause silk colours to fade.
