The United States is the world’s largest importer of curtains and drapes, accounting for 26% of global import value, with China, India, and Turkey supplying the bulk of what ends up on American windows. We went through dozens of window treatment brands to find the ones actually manufacturing on US soil. Below is our full list, a breakdown of the materials and labeling terms worth knowing, and a look at some of the most popular curtain brands that aren’t made here.
Complete List of Curtains & Drapes Manufacturers Made in the USA
American Custom Drapes is based in Los Angeles, California, where they manufacture their full line of custom window treatments directly – no retail middleman involved. The range covers lined, unlined, sheer, pinch pleated, and blackout curtains, all made to order from their California facility. Mike has their curtains installed in his guest bedroom and went with a simple off-white design – they’re noticeably thick and durable compared to anything you’d find off the shelf. Buying direct from the manufacturer keeps the pricing reasonable for what is a genuinely well-built product.
Aloha Drapery sews custom drapery panels in Honolulu, Hawaii, using commercial-grade fabrics across a wide range of colors and designs. The fabrication happens on-island, which is notable given how logistically difficult it is to run a manufacturing operation in Hawaii. Some raw materials are imported – the company acknowledges this, noting it’s a common reality for Hawaii-based businesses given the cost and complexity of shipping everything across the Pacific. If you’re looking for custom drapes sewn in the most geographically isolated state in the country, Aloha Drapery is one of a very few options.
Brand name: Best Window Treatments
Headquarters: Toledo, OH
States manufacturing in: CA, GA, IL, MA, OH, PA, SC, WI,
Best Window Treatments is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, and sews through a network of American workrooms – with production facilities in Waukegan (IL), Los Angeles (CA), Spartanburg (SC), Atlanta (GA), Boston (MA), Milwaukee (WI), and Telford (PA). The company states that 100% of its custom window treatments and hardware are manufactured in the United States. Their catalog is wide: custom and ready-made curtains, drapery panels, roman shades, top treatments, drapery hardware, and fabric by the yard. Distribution centers in High Point (NC), Tupelo (MS), and Spartanburg (SC) handle fabric fulfillment.
Dream Drapes operates out of Avon, Connecticut, from a workroom that has been running for over 25 years. All production is made to order and built entirely in-house – no imported components are disclosed. Panels are constructed with cotton lining, heavy flannel interlining, blind-stitched side seams, and covered lead weights at the corners, which is a level of construction detail that puts them in a different category from most curtain options. They offer hundreds of fabric choices including solid silk, linen, and printed cotton, and supply both interior design showrooms and direct consumers.
Fashion Window Treatments has been operating out of Fredericksburg, Virginia since 1995, with two in-house production divisions: a semi-custom workroom and a full-custom drapery workroom. All design, fabrication, and customer service happen at their Virginia facility – they don’t outsource. The catalog covers custom window treatments, coordinated bedding, pillows, and kitchen and bath textiles, with over 400 fabric options. They also accept customer-supplied materials for fabrication, which is a useful option if you’ve already sourced a specific fabric you want made up.
Martha & Ash is based in Rock Hill, South Carolina, with production split between two locations in Rock Hill and Camden. Founded in 2003 by a mother and daughter, the company operates out of a renovated schoolhouse where all draperies, roman shades, and drapery hardware are made by hand to order, with fabrication and finishing handled entirely in-house. They serve both residential and commercial clients nationwide, which gives them experience across a wide range of project scales and specifications.
Regal Drapes is a family-run operation based in Morristown, New Jersey, that handcrafts all orders in its New Jersey workroom. The lineup covers custom draperies, roman shades, valances, and decorative pillows, with a range of pleat styles and fabric options. Turnaround is fast – orders typically ship within seven business days. Design consultation is available, which can be useful if you’re planning a full room treatment rather than just swapping out panels.
The Shade Store was founded in 1946 and is headquartered in Port Chester, New York, with over 150 showrooms across the country. Every custom order is assembled in their American workrooms to the customer’s specified dimensions. Their catalog is the broadest on this list: roller shades, roman shades, cellular shades, woven wood shades, wood and faux wood blinds, and drapery panels, with more than 1,200 materials to choose from. Their materials are sourced from both domestic and international suppliers, so while the assembly is American, the fabric origin varies by product.
How to Find Drapes & Curtains Made in the USA
The list above covers what we’ve researched and verified, but it isn’t exhaustive. Here’s how to evaluate a brand on your own when you come across one we haven’t covered yet.
What Does “Made in the USA” Mean?
The Federal Trade Commission requires that a product labeled “made in the USA” have “all or virtually all” of its components, from raw materials through final assembly, produced domestically. There’s no pre-approval process. Companies self-certify, which means the label can be applied loosely, and it falls on buyers to report violations. For curtains and drapes specifically, this standard is genuinely hard to meet. Most brands that sew in the United States are working with imported fabrics, which technically disqualifies them from a strict FTC “made in the USA” claim. For a full breakdown of how the standard works in practice, read our breakdown of what the “made in the USA” label actually requires.
Materials
Where the fabric comes from matters in this category because most curtain materials are not produced in meaningful quantities in the United States. A brand can cut and sew domestically while drawing entirely on fabric from China, India, or Europe – and in most cases, that’s exactly what happens.
Cotton
Cotton is grown extensively in the US. The country produced 12.07 million bales in the 2023-2024 marketing year, ranking third or fourth globally behind India and China, depending on the measurement method. But growing cotton is different from weaving it into fabric. US cotton mill use has been in long-term decline, hitting 1.9 million bales in 2023/24 – the lowest level in over 100 years, according to the USDA Economic Research Service, going back to the 1884/85 marketing year. In 2024, US mills produced approximately 1.5 billion square meters of woven cotton fabric (valued at $7.1 billion), while domestic consumption reached 1.9 billion square meters. The US imports the gap, primarily from Pakistan, India, and China. A curtain marketed as using “American-grown cotton” may still be woven from fabric produced overseas.
Polyester
Polyester is the dominant material in mass-market curtains. Globally, polyester accounts for 59% of all fiber production, with approximately 78 million tonnes produced in 2024, according to the Textile Exchange Materials Market Report. China, India, and Vietnam together account for over 70% of global polyester fiber output. The United States does have domestic producers – Hyosung (the leading domestic polyester yarn manufacturer), William Barnet & Son, and US Fibers among them, but these companies primarily serve specialty and industrial markets rather than home textile fabric production. In practice, the polyester fabric used in most American-assembled curtains is imported from Asia. Finding curtains where the polyester fabric itself is domestically produced is genuinely rare.
Linen
Linen comes from the flax plant, and the US produces almost none of it for fiber purposes. A 2025 North American Linen Association survey found that fewer than 200 acres of fiber flax were grown across the United States and Canada in 2024. Europe accounts for 80-85% of global scutched flax fiber production, with Belgium and France as the dominant producers. The US consumed approximately 39 million square meters of flax fabric in 2024, valued at $382 million, with imports coming primarily from China, India, and Belgium. Any curtain labeled “linen” and “made in the USA” is almost certainly using European or Asian flax fiber. The fabric may be cut and sewn domestically, but the raw material is not American.
Silk
The United States has minimal domestic sericulture – the farming of silkworms for raw silk production. The US raw silk market was valued at approximately $72 million in 2024, and the country imported $14.65 million in raw silk that year, the vast majority from China, according to IndexBox market data. Over 60% of US silk imports arrive as finished fabrics and garments rather than raw fiber. Domestic silk production is so limited that for any silk drapes claiming to be made in the USA, the silk fiber almost certainly originates overseas. If a brand is selling “silk curtains made in the USA,” that claim most likely refers to where they were cut, sewn, or finished – not where the silk was produced.
Labeling
When you’re researching curtains and drapes, you’ll run into several terms that sound similar but mean very different things:
- “Made in the USA” – the FTC standard. Requires all or virtually all of the product, including raw materials, to be domestically produced and assembled. The hardest standard to meet in this category.
- “Assembled in the USA” – the fabric and components were sourced elsewhere and put together domestically. The assembly is American; the materials likely aren’t.
- “Made in America” – under NAFTA and USMCA trade rules, this can legally include products made in Canada or Mexico. It is not the same as “made in the USA.”
- “Designed in the USA” – the design work happened here; manufacturing almost certainly did not.
- American flag imagery – flag graphics, eagle logos, and patriotic packaging carry no regulatory meaning. Any brand can put a flag on a product. Don’t treat it as evidence of domestic manufacturing.
- Title 19 Chapter 4 Section 1304 – this federal law requires imported goods to display their country of origin. If a curtain has no country-of-origin label, it may have been manufactured domestically, but the absence of a label alone isn’t confirmation either way.
Final Tips
A few practical steps when you’re evaluating a curtain brand on your own:
- Check the brand’s website thoroughly. Brands that genuinely manufacture in the USA almost always say so prominently – on the homepage, the About page, or individual product pages. If you can’t find any manufacturing claim after a reasonable search, that absence is usually a signal.
- Check Amazon and major retailer product pages. Third-party retailers often include country-of-origin information in their product detail sections even when the brand’s own site omits it. Search the brand name on Amazon and look at the product specifications.
- Contact the company directly. Call or email and ask: “Where are these curtains manufactured?” and “Is the fabric sourced domestically?” Brands that actually make their products here will answer without hesitation.
- Apply the labeling knowledge above when reading product descriptions. Phrases like “crafted in our American facility” or “sewn by our US team” are assembly claims, not material claims. Look for explicit statements about where both the fabric and the finished product are produced.
