The Rain Forest Collection is a new and exciting HOME & CASTLE "real fabric" collection inspired by the beauty and diversity of a tropical rainforest. If you are wondering what "real fabric" is, think first of what it is not. Real fabric is not laminated with plastic as are the bonded fabrics used by the hard-window-convering companies (from which they make pleated shades and other pseudo-soft window converings), nor can it be fabricated into a window covering by a machine. A real-fabric window covering will never look like your neighbor's pleated shades or mini-blind, or like any other window covering. Our "real fabric" RAINFOREST Collection, in particluar, has its own natural characteristics. Every shade is unique. A beautiful, hand-crafted shade made from one of our exclusive RAINFOREST fabrics will be uniquely yours, and yours alone.
