There are a few US shops that carry the real stuff, and a number more that carry more commercial lines, like Serenity by EESchenck.
Actually, the Cara Collection Serenity by EESchenck is designed and printed under contract by Daiwabo in Japan, so they are "real" taupes. The major difference is that EESCO specifies a higher quality of yard goods for their contract than are typically used by Daiwabo.
Other popular taupes are made by Lecien in Japan, and Daiwabo is attempting to import directly into the USA now, with mixed success.
EESCO is also coming out with a new taupe line which was designed by their own in-house designers here, and printed under contract by Daiwabo.
So they're getting more available.
