beacon hill
|
(9)
|
|
|
Beacon Hill in Boston exudes a sophisticated old world charm with its narrow, cobblestone streets and historic brick townhouses cast in the deep red glow of evening. The autumn- and winter weather brings a crisp chill, with the sunset turning the neighborhood's iconic gas lamps into warm beacons that light rich, wine-colored façades. The overall ambiance is reminiscent of a glass of pinot noir—deep, full-bodied, and tinged with a sense of old world charm.
This atmosphere is captured in this deep pinot noir hue - the luxurious texture and rich color evoke the warmth and depth of Beacon Hill at dusk.

vampyre

They cast no shadow. They can't reflect in the mirror. They avoid sunlight and hunt at night. They have super strength and a hypnotic, sensual effect on their victims. It is said that some may even have the ability to morph into a bat or a wolf...this sexy hue straddles the line between deep espresso brown and a very dark plum! She looks equally stunning both in broad daylight and in the dark of the night, has the ability to transform into a beautiful piece of sewing art, and hypnotizes all who come near!

A love letter to Venice, Italy, one of the most beautiful - and undoubtedly the most romantic! - cities in the world, this luminous walnut gold-and-indigo pairing will turn any project into a piece of art!! You see, Medieval Venice looooooved gold leaf! It was used to decorate the interiors and exteriors of gorgeous buildings like San Marco Basilica, Palazzo Ducale, and, of course, Ca d'ora. Meanwhile, Venetian artists such as Bellini used gold in their paintings...Gold was EVERYWHERE!!

sassicaia
|
(1)
|
|
|
A deeper, richer, more saturated varietal of our "Blackberry" dupioni, this purply merlot-and-black pairing recalls the Bordeaux-style "Super Tuscan" wine by the same name! Translating to "the place of many stones," Sassicaia comes from a region in Tuscany with gravel-rich soil and is aged in barriques. Exclusive, expensive, and the world's sixth most popular wine, its fans include many high-profile admirers like the Obamas, LeBron James, and Rihanna.

themis
|

Themis was the Greek goddess of justice, wisdom, and good counsel, and is often represented as a woman of sober appearance carrying a pair of scales. Similarly neutral, this beautiful silk is a desaturated mauve-and-light gray pairing that is gently feminine, and even edges toward a nude color under certain light. Uniquely nuanced and subtle, she's a hue unlike any you've seen before!

lycanthropy
|
|
|
This spooky hue is nearly the same as our popular Salem dupioni, but this time that purple is paired with a warm caramel brown to produce something far more haunting. Can you see the warm brown highlights in the photo?
So what does this name mean? In folklore, Lycanthropy is the ability for a human to transform into a giant werewolf, or lycanthrope, either purposely or after being placed under a curse, with the metamorphosis only occurring in the light of a full moon…

nocturne
|
|
|
NOCTURNE is a musical composition, piece of art, or literary work that is inspired by or evocative of the nighttime. It is often associated with music and is used to describe a composition that is reflective, lyrical, and intended to convey a sense of the night, darkness, or a serene and contemplative mood. In music, it is typically a short, romantic, and expressive piece for a solo instrument, most commonly the piano. These pieces often feature gentle melodies and expressive phrasing and, just like this lavender-and-aqua silk, convey the emotions and sensations associated with the night, whether they be peaceful, mysterious, or melancholic…

portia
|
|
|
PORTIA is a prominent character in William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice." She is a wealthy and intelligent heiress from Belmont, known for her beauty and wit, and her personality is a powerful blend of intelligence, compassion, and strength.
This feminine mauve hue exudes a similarly subdued-yet-powerful presence. The unusually beautiful pink warp threads and dark mauve weft threads reflect the nuanced layers of Portia’s character. Alluring, radiant, and dynamic, the silk and the character share a very special kinship.

Ah, dear traveler, you have stepped into a world where the unseen becomes clear.

With this gift, one can glimpse the shadows of the future, the echoes of the past, and the truths that dwell in the spaces between, all as if they were laid bare before your very eyes...
Falling squarely between our Eggplant and Nocturne dupionis, this magenta-and-kelly green stunner is a reminder that, for many, purple is a spiritual color that bestows otherworldly powers…
