Silk Dupioni Colors:

Our current silk supplier offers more than 200 colors of dupioni. If you have a particular color in mind, please contact us to see if we can obtain it.

Color of the Month: Titanium
White and indigo create a vibrant, youthful, yet elegant color in Titanium. We recommended Whisper to accompany it (shown below).

*Surcoats, Round, Doublet, Italian or Spanish Gowns only.

Our current range of standard colors include:


Aubergine - Burgundy and black combine in this fabric to create an intense, rich feeling. We recommend Pewter or Travertine to accompany it.	Pumpkin Pie - A cross of orange and charcoal creates a warm, rich orange, reminiscent of cool fall nights in front of the fire, with exotic spices in the air. We recommend Pewter to accompany it.	Clover - The cross of hunter and kelly greens produce a brilliant green with great depth and richness. We recommend Parchment to accompany it.	Canterbury - This beautiful, bright Cobalt blue is a vivid jewel-tone. Not cross-dyed. We recommend Pewter or Travertine to accompany it.	Navy - This classic color provides elegance and ease to any outfit and looks beautiful with any of our Silk Charmeuse colors, providing you with infinite opportunities! Not cross-dyed.	Hazelnut - Dark brown crossed with burgundy gives this brown the warmth and depth of the best hazelnut coffee! We recommend Travertine to accompany it.
