Monochrome Monday: The Plum Caspia Edition

Think of this shade as purple's cooler, more mysterious older sister. If purple was once the colour of kings, Plum Caspia is its contemporary heir—less pomp, more polish. Historically a symbol of power and luxury, purple gained its prestige from the rarity of its dye. Today, Plum Caspia reimagines that legacy through a moody, refined lens: rich, wearable, and quietly commanding. Sitting somewhere between violet and dusty mauve, the shade carries weight without overwhelming. It adapts seamlessly—equally at home in sculptural silhouettes, soft knits, or standout accessories. Whether layered for day or styled for evening, Plum Caspia invites elegance with a modern edge. This Monochrome Monday, we spotlight a curated selection of standout pieces that embrace this cooler, more enigmatic side of purple—from flowing kaftans and architectural bags to high-shine stilettos and fluid silks.
