Description
The Black Velvet Kippah with Eggplant Rim is a four-panel black velvet yarmulke for men and boys, available in 8 sizes at $9.99. The rim is a dark aubergine purple twill, deep enough that it reads almost black indoors and turns plum in daylight. The crown is black velvet with a slightly blue-black cast, and the overhead view shows the purple band tracing the full circle. It is a dark-on-dark combination for someone who wants colour without contrast. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Why customers choose it
Eggplant is one of the few colours dark enough to sit next to black velvet without breaking its formality. The rim reads as a shadow indoors and reveals its plum colour in sunlight, which is exactly the effect many men want for Shabbos. It pairs neatly with the purple and wine ties that are common at simchas.
