Trade Secrets: Drapery Row

It has always been my philosophy to invest my buying dollars in excellent design. I've never given into cynicism and followed the trend to their inevitable bargain retailer conclusion, nor have I ever mistaken a brand name for quality (even the best fabric houses make mistakes). Great design is timeless, intrinsically valuable, and, in my opinion, somewhat spiritual. A block print dating back to the founding of our country accurately reproduced in Schumacher's Williamsburg Collection ties us to our shared history and continues a legacy of textile and design innovation that led to the industrial revolution. A Fortuny print continues the mad-genius tradition of the textile version of Architecture's Gaudi, a one-of-a-kind process, unmistakeable and unimitable.

The Drapery Row Trade Secrets Collection is an evolving library of important textiles reserved for clients whose taste demands the best at a reasonable price. I comb the fabric libraries of America's best collections to hand select essential designs. In many cases, the fabrics in our collection are the last available examples of their kind- waiting for that discerning client- whispering that essential truth "love me now, or lose me forever".

Great design lasts forever, says the great Brunschwig & Fils. This is true, but these great designs won't last forever... not at these prices.
