Holland & Sherry Elie
Luxury wool cashmere flannel, 27 colourways, 80% wool, 20% cashmere, 59 in wide. Holland & Sherry's own figures, and how we make it up as draperies in our Fort Lauderdale workroom, from the cloth your designer orders.
27 colourways of luxury wool cashmere flannel, 59 in wide
Elie is a luxury wool cashmere flannel from Holland & Sherry (80% wool, 20% cashmere, 59 in wide, made in Chile). The range runs to 27 colourways: Satin, Pearl, Cream, Camel, Feather, Elephant, Slipper, Paprika plus 19 more. Their spec sheet gives its end use as "Light upholstery, drapery, soft goods, accessories and upholstered walls".
At 59 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a wide panel is made of joined widths, with each seam hidden inside a pleat or a ripplefold wave.
Wool brings weight, a soft hand and quiet, and it resists flame on its own; what it does not resist is the sun, which fades and weakens it, so it wants a lining and, on bright south and west glass, a shade in front of it. In a lived-in, air-conditioned house it is at home; in a house shut up for the summer, humidity is its risk (curtain fabric types). It weighs 15 oz per linear yard (470 g per linear metre) by Holland & Sherry's figures.

What Elie does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Elie is a tailored drapery cloth: pinch pleat, Euro pleat or ripplefold panels in a study, a bedroom or a living room, lined, on a decorative rod or a track.
Light and privacy
Closed, Elie gives full privacy; how much light comes through is decided by the lining we sew behind it: light-filtering for living rooms, interlining for body and quiet, blackout for bedrooms (the lining guide).
Cloth and care
80% wool, 20% cashmere; 15 oz per linear yard (470 g per linear metre); Martindale 12,000 rubs. Care, by Holland & Sherry's sheet: professional dry clean only.
Limitations
Not for unshaded south or west glass on its own: the sun fades natural fibres, so a shade goes in front of it there. At 59 in a wide panel is made of joined widths; the seams sit inside the pleats. No NFPA 701 result in Holland & Sherry's data, so a condo common area or a commercial job that asks for it needs the cloth flame treated with a certificate, if Holland & Sherry can supply it that way, or another cloth.

Colour names, codes, colour families, widths, compositions, repeats, weights and origin are Holland & Sherry's own, from their product page for each colourway, read on October 7, 2026. The photographs are theirs and stay on their site: each row links to it. Your designer confirms the colour and the dye lot with Holland & Sherry when the cloth is ordered.
How Elie becomes draperies in your home
Your designer specifies
Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so the cloth is chosen and ordered by your designer, with the colour code and the sample in hand. Not working with a designer? Tell us; we can suggest a cloth we order ourselves.
We measure and give the yardage
We measure the windows, settle the style, the fullness and the lining, and work out the yardage on the width and the repeat, so the order to Holland & Sherry is right the first time.
We make and install
The cloth comes to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, where our five in-house seamstresses cut and sew the draperies, and our own installers hang them on the rod, track or motorized system the window calls for.
Where Elie works here
In South Florida a wool drapery belongs in an air-conditioned room with the glass shaded: a study, a dining room, a bedroom with a blackout lining, a media room where weight and quiet matter. At the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach we made two Holland & Sherry wool jacquards up as blackout drapery on Lutron Sivoia QS tracks, to the designer's schedule; Elie would be built the same way.
For the same use, compare Elie with Nairn Tweed (Moray cashmere tweed, 54 in, 2 colourways), Patagonia (mélange wool flannel, 59 in, 72 colourways) and Andes (mélange wool sateen, 59 in, 66 colourways).
Elie: frequently asked
How many colours does Holland & Sherry Elie come in?
27 colourways on Holland & Sherry's site when we read it on October 7, 2026: Satin, Pearl, Cream, Camel, Feather, Elephant, Slipper, Paprika, Pisco, Emerald and 17 more. Every one is listed on this page with its code; Holland & Sherry's photographs of each are on their own site, linked from the table.
Can I buy Elie from you?
No. Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so your designer orders the cloth from them. We make it up and install it: we measure and work out the yardage, the cloth is sent to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our seamstresses cut and sew the draperies.
Is Elie fire rated for drapery?
Holland & Sherry's data gives no NFPA 701 result for it, only upholstery tests (Cal 117-2013; BS 5852 Cigarette). For a residence that is not an issue; where a building asks for NFPA 701 on the drapery, ask your designer whether Holland & Sherry can supply it flame treated with a certificate, or choose another cloth.
Does Elie need a lining?
Yes. The lining is chosen for the room: a light-filtering sateen for a living room, an interlining for body and quiet, a blackout lining for a bedroom (lining guide).
What does Elie cost made up as draperies?
The cloth is bought through your designer at Holland & Sherry's price, so our quote covers what we make and install: the fabrication, the lining, the track or rod and the installation, worked out from the measure. Ask for a workroom price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
Compare Elie with
Elie draperies in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton & Palm Beach
Your designer orders Elie from Holland & Sherry; we measure, work out the yardage, cut and sew it in our own Fort Lauderdale workroom as draperies, and hang it with our own installers on the rod, track or motorized system the window calls for, anywhere from Miami to Palm Beach.
Have Elie made up properly
Book a complimentary in-home consultation, with your designer or on your own. We measure, talk through the lining, the fullness and the hardware, and give the yardage for the Holland & Sherry order.
