the Fall MVPs, color trends

We all know fall is known as "Sweater Weather" season, but I want to talk about the real MVP of Fall...and it's COLOR!

When I first moved to Chicago from California in the middle of the fall season, it was amazing to me to see so little color, besides the beautiful colors of the leaves. Women were in head to toe black...talk about nothing standing out! As a native Californian, I grew up embracing color no matter the season. When I started designing handbags, I discovered my passion was to help women from all over embrace the California sunshine in their wardrobe all year long...whether it's officially on trend or not!

The good news is Burgundy + Brown are the IT colors this fall!!! Burgundy is making a major comeback, dominating runways and more. From rich merlot hues in fashion to deep cherry tones in furniture and decor, burgundy’s resurgence signals a shift towards warmer, more luxurious color palettes for 2024 and yes, beyond.

FREE LOVE: I personally love PLUM with everything. It acts as a great neutral and our leather is supple yet super durable. She is the perfect replacement for a black bag to add a pop of color to any look. Our Merlot is amazing too, if you love an amazing aniline leather that patinas beautifully over the decades.

But if you live in a warmer weather state and feel plum is too dark for your wardrobe, try our AQUARIUS leather in Nikki. It is a great compliment to a lighter colored fall wardrobe. Besides the fun studded detailing, it's such a soft and uniquely vintage looking leather that will easily take you from season to season, just add boots or a classic peacoat for winter. (ps: this is a limited edition color).

One of my favorite combos is pink & green, especially for fall. Because a black bag just would be too much for this look. We suggest matching tones and going with our HAPPY TRAILS leather.  It just makes the outfit more complete. Now you just have to decide where to go!

And last but definitely not least, you can't forget Brown! I have preferred brown to black my entire life, so I love that it's making a comeback! And if you are a denim girl like me, a casual brown leather will act as the perfect blend to your wardrobe. Just like denim, our WOODSTOCK leather goes with everything. Dark colors bring out the darker tones of this two-toned leather and spring like colors bring out the lighter tones. It's a win-win for sure!
