TREND

A fine

imitatiOn of life…

In our world of botanical aesthetics, artificial flowers have undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from mere imitations to exquisite works of art that rival the natural beauty of their living counterparts.

Today, Silk-ka’s high-end enchanting flowers have become a symbol of sophistication and an embodiment of Dutch design craftsmanship. One of the most extraordinary aspects of these faux botanical blooms lies in their attention to every detail. A fine imitation of life indeed!

Because we are going to spoil you so much with our new

of allure and playfulness to your floral arrangements.

The elongated design not only elevates the overall aesthetic but also allows for versatile decorating options, enabling you to create breathtaking displays that make a long lasting impression. See what we did there? So, why not indulge in the temptation of these amazing Dahlias, Roses and Lilies to let your inspiration bloom with a touch of ‘’je ne sais quoi’’?

After all, in our love for flowers and fashion, a little flirtation goes a long way!

HOld on, another kind of frOzen?

Like the ice cubes in an Old Fashioned cocktail this selection of branches and fruits will definitely send a chill down your spine.

But hold on! It’s absolutely in a good way because these frozen beauties will melt your heart in a second!

The way the light catches the crystal-like flocking on the stems and apples gives a unique and atmospheric vibe to any interior. A heartfelt recommendation from your favourite faux botanical company, our frosted selection is anything but freezing cold, on the contrary, a winter wonderland setting has never looked more warm and inviting!

Orchids are a girls best friend…

Diamonds are so overrated, Orchids are much better friends! They will give you a feeling of exotic opulence just by their luscious presence.

Any vase, however big or small, will look like a million dollar by just adding a few Vanda, Cymbidium or Phalaenopsis stems. The Silk-ka collection of Orchids has grown immensely with many new additions. Real Touch Collection quality, deep saturated shades reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour will sweep you of your feet right into the golden years of the roaring 20’s. A kiss on the hand, may be quite continental. But Orchids, I said Orchids, are a girl's best friend!
