BL21 Jacquard Pattern Zebra Shades

Jacquard weaving allows for the creation of intricate, curvilinear patterns that are woven into the fabric structure—not printed on the surface. BL21 Series Zebra Shades feature subtle, tonal jacquard patterns on both the sheer and opaque bands, adding a layer of visual interest that reveals itself only on close inspection. From across the room, the fabric reads as a richly textured solid; up close, delicate damask motifs or organic foliate patterns emerge. This is the perfect choice for formal living rooms, primary bedrooms, and any space where you want to add a whisper of luxury. Available in 3-inch band width only, with three classic patterns: Acorn (foliate), Medallion (symmetrical floral), and Stripe (regimental). Colorways include timeless neutrals (Ivory, Greige, Silver) and deeper jewel tones (Navy, Burgundy, Forest). Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. Woven, not printed.

Woven Jacquard Construction

Unlike printed patterns that sit on the fabric surface and can fade, peel, or distort over time, BL21’s motifs are woven directly into the fabric. A jacquard loom controls each warp thread individually, enabling intricate, curvilinear designs with remarkable precision. The pattern emerges from the interplay of shiny satin floats against matte woven grounds, creating depth and dimension. Because the pattern is structural—not applied—it will never wear off or wash out.

Patterns on Both Bands

Most patterned zebra shades limit the design to the opaque bands. BL21 extends the jacquard motif to both the sheer and opaque bands, ensuring visual continuity whether the bands are aligned or staggered. The sheer bands use a slightly lighter pattern density to maintain light transmission, but the motif remains clearly visible and cohesive.

Three Timeless Patterns

BL21 offers three classic jacquard motifs, each scaled for residential windows with repeats of 12–18 inches:

  • Acorn — Organic, asymmetrical foliate motif; relaxed traditional

  • Medallion — Symmetrical floral medallion; formal and classic

  • Stripe — Vertical satin stripes on matte ground; transitional and versatile

These patterns add subtle sophistication without overwhelming the room.

Tonal Color Palette

BL21 patterns are tonal, created through weave structure rather than contrasting colors. From a distance, the fabric reads as a soft solid; the pattern reveals itself only upon closer inspection.

Color families include:

  • Neutrals: Ivory, Greige, Silver, Charcoal

  • Jewel Tones: Navy, Burgundy, Forest, Aubergine

All colors are solution‑dyed for long‑term fade resistance.

Light‑Filtering & Room‑Darkening Only

BL21 is available in light‑filtering and room‑darkening opacities. Blackout is not offered, as the jacquard weave is too open to accept a laminated blackout interlayer without compromising the clarity of the pattern.

Custom Pattern Matching

For multi‑shade installations, we offer pattern matching to align the jacquard motif horizontally across adjacent shades. This requires additional yardage and a setup fee. Our workrooms match patterns as closely as possible based on your window dimensions.

Care & Maintenance

Jacquard fabrics require gentle care:

  • Dry‑clean only

  • Do not machine wash or spot clean—water may cause satin floats to pucker

  • Regular dusting with a soft brush attachment is recommended

  • Professional cleaning every 2–3 years preserves the fabric’s beauty
