bordeaux season

it’s time to start thinking of bordeaux as a color that can work for you year-round! a bordeaux handbag like our small cruiser crossbody adds a touch of luxe to your outfits in every season. in cooler months, layer your bag over fall’s typically darker colors and muted tones — black, grays, chocolate brown, olive and camel. beautiful combinations. in warmer months, go lighter with your ensembles. khaki, light blue or faded denim, powder pink, warm florals and summer stripes work perfectly. bordeaux is more versatile than you know!

tonal dressing creates a very chic look that is definitely on the rise, from the runway to the street. how do you do it? simply mix different shades of the same color for a layered, monochrome look — for example, a rich bordeaux (burgundy, maroon, etc.) leather jacket or cardigan over a turtleneck or blouse in a similar shade, along with a bordeaux marcel bucket bag. trousers could also be maroon as could your footwear, or you could add in one complementary shade such as tan, light grey or baby blue. 

it does! the quilted look, including our own wave quilted collection of handbags, has been a favorite of designers known for timeless, classic style. in fact, the earliest versions of a quilted bag date to the 1920s — so quilted bags have been around for at least 100 years! modern designs and fresh colorways keep the style up to date. our wave quilted bags are available in black, midnight (blue), sage, pewter, milky grey, orange and bordeaux.
