Description
The Purple Leather Kippah is a four-panel leather yarmulke for men and boys in a deep eggplant shade, sold in 9 sizes at $11.99. The shade is eggplant: a dark, slightly smoky purple that looks almost aubergine-black in dim light and clearly purple in daylight. The leather has a fine grain and soft sheen, and the rim is bound in the same purple with tonal stitching. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Why customers choose it
Eggplant gives the seriousness of a dark kippah with a colour you notice once you look. It pairs naturally with grey suiting, where navy can feel expected, and it handles daily wear well because the dark shade hides small marks. The single-colour rim keeps the look clean.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a bright purple?
No. It is a deep eggplant, dark and slightly smoky. It can look nearly black indoors.
How is it different from the Maroon Leather Kippah?
Maroon leans red-brown. Eggplant leans blue-purple.
What suit colour suits an eggplant kippah?
Grey and charcoal are the easiest; navy works too with a white shirt.
Which flat cuts does the eggplant kippah come in?
16, 18 and 20 cm flats, plus domed sizes 1 to 6 in purple leather.
Is a purple kippah suitable for shul?
In most settings, yes, as the shade is dark and understated. Check first if your shul expects black.
