atlantis
|
|
|
This high-contrast pairing of teal and burnt orange possesses a distinct undersea quality that evokes the mythical lost city!
First mentioned by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato more than 2,300 years ago, Atlantis is known as one of the oldest and greatest mysteries of the world. According to him, the utopian kingdom existed some 9,000 years before his time and then mysteriously disappeared one day. Legend says that the city was built by Poseidon - god of the sea, storms, and earthquakes - when he fell in love with a mortal woman named Cleito. To show his enduring love, he created an entire city perched on an isolated island to protect her...
This color was custom-made just for us, so you cannot find it anywhere else!

ristretto
|
|
|
This solid hue is by far the deepest and richest brown-black taffeta we've ever offered, and is an homage to the tiny shot of highly concentrated coffee that is less bitter and easier to drink than an espresso! Requiring a finer grind and half the amount of water, the Ristretto is known for its sweet, fruity flavors!

calvados
|
(1)
|
|
|
This two-toned silk, comprised of honey and dark brown, is named after the apple brandy that hails from the Normandy region of France! A well-made calvados is reminiscent of apples and pears, balanced with flavors from the aging process. A younger calvados distinguishes itself with a bright, fresh flavor - the nose and palate are balanced with butterscotch, nut, and chocolate aromas. Later, as the brew ages, it becomes golden or even dark brown with orange elements - just like this luscious silk!

clary sage
|
|
|
This soft-but-striking purple-and-blush iridescent is named after the perennial that smells sweet and herbaceous with amber tones of fresh tobacco! Clary Sage is native to the northern Mediterranean Basin, along with some areas in north Africa and Central Asia. The plant has a lengthy history as an herb and is harvested for its essential oil. In certain traditions, it is said to enhance the ability to dream and remember dreams, and can also be used in love spells!
This color was designed by and made just for Silk Baron, so you cannot find it anywhere else!

clove
|
|
|
This earthy, high-contrast brown-and-black beauty embodies the spirit of one of the most delicious spices ever! Clove is an aromatic flower bud that is native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Ground or whole, it can be used to flavor meat, sauces, and rice. Cloves are often used - along with cinnamon and nutmeg - in sweet dishes, especially pumpkin pie-flavored treats during the autumn and winter seasons, and in drinks such as mulled wine, cider, and chai...YUM!

jojoba
|
|
|
This breathtaking pairing of salmon and deep brown yarns evokes imagery of the perennial plant that is native to the North American deserts! Jojoba seeds are a rich brown hue, and their oil contains oodles of vitamins, antioxidants, and unique properties that benefit your skin and hair in many nourishing ways. In fact, some say that it significantly slows signs of aging!

champignon
|
|
|
The French word for "mushroom," this solid earthy beige hue perfectly captures the spirit of this humble - but mighty! - vegetable. The word champignon comes from the Latin campagne, which refers to something that grows in the countryside.
Champignons have a mild taste that easily blends with other flavors, and both raw and cooked versions contain a significant measure of important minerals and trace elements. They are a favorite addition in salads, casseroles, meats, gravies, sauces, and stews, and have been used in medicine for centuries.

bruja
|
|
|
This extraordinary hue is a deep hypnotic violet infused with a rich dark brown! It was designed by - and made exclusively for - us, so you cannot find it anywhere else!
“Bruja” is the Spanish word for witch. While the stereotype might make one think of a mysterious woman of color who wields magic to control other people, the practice of brujeria evolved into a form of resistance when colonizers tried to subjugate people in faraway lands and prevent their spiritual connection to the earth. A Bruja, therefore, is not a fantastical figment of the imagination, but a modern-day spiritual woman whose goal is to tap into a deeper language of the universe around us…
