Silk and Cyanide

Silk and Cyanide women's apparel is made to work from the office to out on the town. With an understated elegance, our pieces are comfortably professional, not stuffy or bland. Women can feel smart, intelligent and confident that they look great in what they are wearing where ever they go. Our pieces are inspired by classic style that don't go "out of fashion." We use nothing but unique colors, patterns and quality fabrics in each and every piece. We are passionate about helping women build a wardrobe for life, rather than a lifetime of limited fashion pieces. Silk and Cyanide manufacturers each piece in small batches that are locally sourced in Brooklyn, NY. This allows us to assure high quality construction that is durable, well-made and meant to last. We believe that a well-dressed woman is always dangerous -- her possibilities and success are unlimited; she is unstoppable.
