Why We’re Sew Into 'Graham Crackers':
- Its tan tone stolen from old leather-bound journals
- Its plush naps that script opulence with a rich interplay of lustre and texture
- Its luxe appeal that makes it a great addition for formal spaces
A soft beige velvet that whispers of quiet mornings and slow rituals. Its mellow tan tone evokes the warmth of sunbaked clay and toasted grains, bringing a sense of lived-in elegance - familiar yet refined. Perfect for serene bedrooms, tailored home offices, and rustic-modern spaces, its plush naps lend depth and softness, catching light like brushed suede and wrapping the room in a quiet, tactile richness, making it apt for spaces that curate luxury with care.
HomeSewn Wisdom:
- Consider the European relaxed fold style: Complement the opulence of 'Graham Crackers' velvet with the scalloped bottom of the European relaxed fold style. Its swag bottom and curved folds offer a decorative touch that is fitting for extravagantly detailed traditional maximalist decor styles.
- Personalise with border trims: Accentuate the glamour of this plush-piled velvet by jazzing up your roman blinds with our silken tassel trims, flowy fringes, beautiful ribbon trims or lush pom pom trims.
The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty)
- Our roman shades arrive with all necessary hardware, so you can skip that last-minute store dash.
- We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety.
- Screens may lie; swatches don’t. So ordering fabric samples before your final purchase is highly recommended.
- Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
We recommend reading our Roman Shades Measurement Guide for detailed guidance, but to make your measuring tape a little friendlier, here are a few quick tips:
- When measuring for multiple windows, be sure to measure each one individually. Even if they ‘look’ identical, slight variations are common.
- For roman shades intended for mounting inside a window recess, please specify the exact, tight measurements of the recess. Our tailors make an industry-standard deduction of 10 mm from the width specified by clients, to ensure a precise fit and to keep the shade’s fabric from rubbing and fraying against any surfaces. We ask that clients do not make any such deductions themselves.
- For outside-mounted roman shades, please provide the exact finished dimensions you would like your shade to be. We do not make any adjustments or deductions to the measurements specified for an outside-mounted shade.
- Most fabric bolts come in standard widths of 54 inches. Therefore, roman shades measuring more than 48 inches will typically carry vertical seams to achieve the required width. The exact position of these joining seams is solely to our tailors’ discretion.
For detailed information, we recommend visiting our Shipping & Delivery page, though a summary of our processing timelines is below for quick reference.
Please note that due to the bespoke nature of our products, we are unable to provide exact dispatch dates for our orders. However, once your order shipment is collected by FedEx/ DHL, you will receive a dispatch notification email with tracking details to follow its journey home.
- Curtains, Roman Shades, Valances, Bed & Dining Linens: Most window treatments and dining/ bed linen orders are targeted for dispatch within three weeks of date of order, though we are able to ship out many orders ahead of schedule. We use DHL or FedEx with a typical transit time of 3-7 days.
- Curtains/ Roman Shades with Trims: Some window dressings with trims *may* take up to six weeks as many of our trimmings are sourced from Turkey & London, thereby adding to our processing timeline in some instances.
- Swatches & Fabrics by Yard: Fabric samples and fabrics bought by yard are typically delivered within 7-10 days of order.
- Accessories: We do *not* sell small accessories such as pillow covers, dining placemats, or tie backs standalone. These are sold and dispatched only as part of larger window treatment orders. Please see above for applicable timelines accordingly.
For detailed guidance, we recommend visiting our Returns & Cancellations page:
Of note:
- Since every product at Sewn is handstitched to bespoke specifications, our products are not eligible for returns, refunds, exchange or cancellations by default.
- Image colors can vary based on individual screen settings, so we highly recommend ordering fabric swatches before placing an order for window treatments. We do not accept returns or refunds based on feedback on color variation between site images and actual fabrics, especially if samples are not ordered in advance.
- Our roman shades include all necessary mounting hardware, but we rely on buyers to ensure compatibility of our hardware with their space. We do not accept returns based on hardware-compatibility related issues.
- For inside-mounted shades, we deduct 10mm from the width specified in the order to ensure a proper fit inside a window recess, as outlined in our Measurement Guide. Returns are not accepted on account of this industry-standard deduction on our part.
- On rare occasions, where we may have made a mistake, we do accept returns on a case-by-case basis, provided any discrepancy is communicated via email within five business days of delivery.
- In case of a cancellation, we issue a 100% refund only if the cancellation request is received before any work has started. If production has started, only the remaining value of the order after deducting costs incurred up to that point can be refunded. Once an order is ready, cancellations for refunds are no longer possible.
