An ominous pairing of the deepest maroon you can imagine with onyx black!

Before there was Bram Stoker’s Dracula, (and Castlevania’s villainess by the same name), there was “Carmilla,” an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu that was arguably the earliest work of vampire fiction, steeped in sexual tension and gothic romance. In an isolated castle deep in the Styrian forest, Laura leads a solitary life with only her elderly father for company - until one moonlit night, a horse-drawn carriage crashes into view, carrying an unexpected guest: the beautiful Carmilla. So begins a feverish friendship between Laura and her mysterious, entrancing companion…but as Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and grows weaker by the day…

An incredible luminous copper-and-brown alloy that absolutely glitters!!

With this stunning silk, we’ve chosen to honor the Czech artist, painter, and illustrator Alphonse Mucha! Unfamiliar with his work? Take a look at the accompanying reference photos and you’ll see why it makes perfect sense! Mucha lived in Paris during the Art Nouveau period and is best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters. His style was organic and ornate, graceful and dynamic, with curving, swooping lines and Byzantine borders, lettering, and frames. His iconic 'Mucha woman' had curves, flowing hair, pastel robes, and often a halo of light or flowers, which recalled the halos from religious iconography he was exposed to from a young age.

apricity
apricity
our price:$25.00

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.
