The Silk Trading Co. is known for its luxury textiles, drapery, paint and home furnishings.  The 26 showroom locations and custom department inspire celebrities, top-ranked interior designers, and trendy clients alike to realize their own style, selecting from our exclusive fabric and product line.  All of our stores are staffed with in-house design consultants. 

Warren and Andrea Kay opened the Silk Trading Co. in Los Angeles in 1992.  Though the company is always expanding, the owners are still involved in the design and selection of all fabrics and products.  There are currently over 26 showrooms nationwide, for retail and the trade alike.  The Silk Trading Co. is a design house “…with a signature style.  It is luxurious, with classical derivatives, detailed work that is not studied or indulgent.  We try to do rooms that you can wake up in five or ten years from now and they won’t look dated.”—Andrea Kay, Owner.

In 2001, The Silk Trading Co. introduced a line of ready made drapes called Drapery Out-of-a-Box.  This exclusive line consists of our best selling custom drapery designs and textiles.  The innovative idea behind the Drapery Out-of-a-Box collection was to address our clients’ overwhelming desire for immediate decorating gratification; what sets this line apart is its custom quality tailoring and our trademark silk.  Our ready made drapes accommodate most windows, and are offered in numerous styles and sizes.

Our furniture collection reflects our showroom—traditional to modern styles—made-to-order in any of our luxury textiles.  Sophisticated interiors, sleek urban lofts, meditation pillows and delightful doggy beds—we have made it all.

The latest addition to the Silk Trading Co.’s complete home collection, is our line of Asian Decorative Furniture.  These pieces further our colonial East-and-West trading story.  Influenced by Asian Arts & Crafts and British Colonial styles, the collection comprises of one-off ageless pieces.    Each piece is hand selected overseas and are readily available at any of our retail showrooms. 

The Silk Trading Co. also places social action on our yearly calendar, in both our local and world communities.  We are grateful for our success and always try to “give back,” by actively participating in charitable organizations and by donating our products.  The Silk Trading Co. initiated a program in which we give fabric to museums and to schools for arts and crafts, artistic and theatrical productions and oftentimes simply to beautify their space.

The Silk Trading Co. is also the proud recipient of the prestigious Elle Deco Design Award, 2003.

“Business is simple; The Silk Trading Co. client wants design, quality, value and service.  We are simply the best—that is why our customers come back.” –Warren Kay, Owner.
