cowrie

|
This warm two-toned hue is a toastier version of our Lychee dupioni! Found primarily in the Indian Ocean, cowrie shells were used by several civilizations as currency because they were small, portable, durable, and were almost impossible to counterfeit!

apricity
|
|
|
Apricity articulates the concept of the warmth of the sun on a cold winter day. It is a beautiful and poetic term for that feeling when the sun's rays touch your skin, bringing a sense of coziness and contentment. It is a reminder that even in the coldest of times, there is always the potential for warmth...
Similarly, this high-contrast silk dupioni fabric captures the essence of apricity. Created from a shimmery off-white and a medium earthy brown, it brings to mind the warmth of the sun's rays as they illuminate the earth. The fabric's interplay of light and dark, of warm and cool tones, is reminiscent of the changing seasons and the way that even in the depths of winter, there is always the promise of spring.

Its golden stalks sway in the gentle breeze, promising sustenance and livelihood to hardworking farmers across the heartland. This particular strain is pairing of pale gold-and-dusty rose.

specter
|
|
|
You shouldn’t have come here. The air is thick with something... something that shouldn’t be. A SPECTER - it's more than just a ghost…it’s a tortured spirit that is bound to this place, clinging to the darkness, and it’s not just lingering - it’s angry. Those who encounter it never leave here the same, if they leave at all. I’ve heard the whispers at night, felt the cold seep into my bones…this spirit, it’s waiting, and it knows you’re here…
A little warmer than our Silver dupioni, this ghostly hue is made up of Cream and Gray…a very vintage supernatural vision!
