| Product Spotlight - Vignette® Modern Roman Shades |
 Soft overlapping fabric folds provide a distinct, elegant style. Vignette Modern Roman Shades are beautifully designed front and back without gathers, cords or grommets.
For a clean, beautiful appearance, this is the perfect choice:
- Stack folds neatly at the bottom when lowered
- Fabric-covered headrail conceals the fabric when raised
- Lift cords are concealed between front and rear fabrics
 Offer something different to your clients. The new Top-Down/Bottom-Up lift system option makes Vignette more appealing and versatile than ever.
The new Top-Down/Bottom-Up feature is offered in three and four-inch fold sizes in all colors and fabric styles (excluding EveScape™ room darkening).
