New for our market, Solé Shades is a boutique, Southern California based manufacturer of custom window coverings. The company had its start as a high-end residential drapery workroom founded by Pegah Grossi and her mother, Ferdos, over 20 years ago.
After years of collaboration with high end interior designers, Pegah saw a need for a carefully curated woven line of shade materials that would be on-point with current design trends and on-budget with a wider audience. She familiarized herself with the farmers, dye houses and weavers overseas who could bring her vision to light. It took two years of studying fibers and dyes, and exchanging strike-offs with her weavers before Solé Shades launched its first line of natural woven shade textiles.
Since the 2012 introduction of their first line of 28 Natural Weaves, the company has added over 250 new materials, and today they produce beautiful roman shades, roller shades, fabric shades, and solar shades, with manual operation, Featherlift, and a full range of motorization options. They have a broad array of natural weaves but also unique and beautiful fabrics ideal for both shades and draperies - and cut yardage is available. In the showroom we have a fabulous display of both the weaves and drapery options.
At Sole Shades every bolt of fabric and textile is meticulously reviewed. From checking dye lot consistency, to inspecting the spacing of the weave and testing the durability of the thread, the company scrutinizes their materials before transforming them into window coverings worthy of your client’s environment. Materials are stocked on hand in California, and each window covering is hand-cut and assembled onsite in the Solé studio by highly skilled artisans. Every detail is carefully hand-selected and skillfully applied, right down to the tassels adorning the cords. This attention to detail results in a truly individual window covering, customized to your exact specifications. And shades are made with exceptionally quick turn-around time and excellent pricing.
