The Power to the Purple (Silks!)

Purple.

In nature, it’s surprisingly rare — which is part of why the colour has long been associated with the sacred, the extraordinary. 

Throughout history, purple has signalled something special. Some of the earliest uses of purple pigment in art date all the way back to the Neolithic era, when people first began translating the colours of the world into visual expression. Even then, purple stood out.

This curation gathers silks that explore the many moods of purple — deep plums, luminous violets, soft lavenders, and flashes of magenta. Some shades are bold and intense, others softer, lighter.

Yet they all share the same quality: a colour that refuses to be ordinary.
