Small things that add up
It's All in The Details
Did you know that we design all our fixtures ourselves, from the ground up? Some design features are obvious (hello, cute keyhole valance detail!) but there are plenty of little features that are not so obvious, like the smooth action in the custom design runner, the marine grade fixtures and fasteners and the three (three!) coatings on our fabrics to maximise their longevity and performance.
