Every page is near-black, framed by a thin gold line set just inside the edge. Cinzel, a classical capital face, carries the headings in ivory and gold, while Lato keeps the body copy readable. Gold diamonds mark the cover and back page, and the cover reads The COLLECTION rather than a plain catalog title. It is built for brands whose buyers expect a premium presentation: fine jewelry, watches, fragrance, spirits and leather goods. Products drop onto grid or mosaic pages that you can set in the same dark palette, with prices, SKUs and variant tables where you need them. In the online flipbook the gold reads cleanly on screen and buyers can order through the built-in form; for print, export the CMYK Print professional PDF and ask your printer about rich black. ## Best for - Fine jewelry and watch brands presenting a new collection to retailers - Fragrance houses and niche perfume distributors - Premium spirits, chocolate and tea gift suppliers - Leather goods and menswear labels selling to upscale stores - Evening, holiday and VIP collections that call for a dark, formal look ## Pages in this template **7 pages**: Cover, Welcome, Contents, How to order, Divider, Order form, Back page ## Highlights ### The COLLECTION in gold Cinzel capitals (Cover page) Instead of a generic title, the cover announces The COLLECTION, with COLLECTION in large gold Cinzel and a small gold diamond above. The edition line, website and email sit inside the gold frame, so the cover feels finished before a single product is added. ### A founder's letter in gold and ivory (Welcome page) WELCOME is set in gold Cinzel over a short gold rule, followed by a two-paragraph letter and the founder's name in small capitals. Rewrite it as a note on craftsmanship, sourcing or the season's story; in a premium catalog this page sets the tone for everything after it. ### An order form that keeps the dark look (Order form page) Fields for the buyer's company, PO number and delivery address sit on fine light rules above an item table with a gold header row, and the grand total is underlined in gold. The footer repeats your opening minimum and the email address that receives orders. ### A gold thank-you inside the frame (Back page page) The back page closes with a gold diamond, a gold Cinzel thank-you, a short invitation to get in touch and your email, phone and website in spaced capitals. Your social handle sits at the foot, inside the same gold frame as the cover. ## Printing and styling a black and gold catalog 1. **Ask your printer about rich black** — Large areas printed with black ink alone often look charcoal rather than deep black. Print shops usually build big solid areas from a rich black mix of all four inks. Export the CMYK Print professional PDF and ask the shop to check both the black and the gold on a hard proof. 2. **Know how gold behaves in print** — In four-color printing, gold becomes a flat ochre or mustard; it does not shine. For a metallic effect, ask about metallic ink or foil on the cover only, which printers quote as an extra. On screen, the online flipbook shows the gold the way you designed it. 3. **Size up light text on dark pages** — Ivory type on near-black looks smaller and thinner than black type on white, and fine strokes can fill in on press. Set body copy a point or two larger than usual, avoid hairline weights for prices, and keep longer paragraphs to the welcome page. 4. **Photograph products for a dark page** — A white photo background looks like a bright hole on a black page. Shoot on dark gray or black velvet, or use cut-out images, and light the product from the side so its edges catch a highlight. Jewelry, watches and glass bottles benefit most from a dark backdrop. 5. **Use gold as punctuation, not paint** — Gold works because it is rare on the page. Keep it for titles, rules, prices or a single ornament and leave the rest ivory and gray. When everything turns gold, nothing stands out, and the effect becomes loud instead of refined. ## How it works 1. **Start with this set** — Open Dark Luxury in EasyCatalog and recolor it with one of 12 palettes if you like. 2. **Add your products** — Import from Shopify in one click, or upload a CSV, connect WooCommerce or a product feed. Your products fill the product pages automatically. 3. **Download or share** — Export a print-ready PDF (up to 300 DPI, CMYK and bleed for print shops) or share an online flipbook with a built-in order form. ## FAQ ### Is the Dark Luxury template only for jewelry? No. It fits any product that sells on presentation: watches, fragrance, spirits, chocolate, leather goods, home accessories or premium gifts. If black feels too heavy for your brand, recolor the set with one of the 12 palettes and keep the frame, the Cinzel headings and the page structure. ### Can I share Dark Luxury privately with selected buyers? Yes. Publish it as a wholesale flipbook with an optional password, so only the stockists you invite see trade prices and order through the built-in form. Every link also has a QR code that you can print on a card or show on a tablet during an appointment. ### Does a black catalog cost more to print? Often not much more, but heavy black coverage uses more ink, can need longer drying time and shows fingerprints and scuffs. Ask your printer whether they recommend a coated stock or a matte lamination for the cover, and see a printed proof before you sign off. ### What makes a luxury product catalog feel high end? Restraint. Fewer products per page, large photography, consistent lighting, generous margins and a limited palette do more than decoration. Write short, specific copy about materials and craftsmanship, list prices plainly and make ordering easy. A fine frame and one classical typeface, as in this template, are enough ornament. ## Design details - Colors: #12151a, #f5eede, #c9a227, #23262c, #9a948a - Fonts: Cinzel, Lato ## Related templates - [Luxury Catalog](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/luxury-catalog) — Campaign template - [Premium Catalog](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/premium-catalog) — Campaign template - [Elegant Serif](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/elegant-serif) — Classic template set - [Watches Catalog](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/watches-catalog) — Campaign template - [Watches Premium](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/watches-premium) — Premium industry template - [Watches](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/watches-classic) — Classic template set --- All catalog templates: https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates · Site summary for AI tools: https://www.easycatalog.com/llms.txt · Updated 2026-10-13
