Purple sits between the warmth of red and the calm of blue, which is why it reads rich without ever feeling loud. This edit covers the range: deep aubergine and plum that work as evening alternatives to black, true purple and violet with more presence, and soft lilac and lavender for daytime events and spring weddings. The deeper tones suit velvet and satin, where the fabric adds depth to the colour; the lighter ones sit better in chiffon and mesh. Lengths and shapes run across our full range. Purple is one of the harder colours to photograph accurately — lilacs in particular can read greyer or pinker on screen than they do in daylight.
