Just like an LBD, a classic black handbag can save you from a whole assortment of sartorial dilemmas. Here, we discuss the hidden power behind the ‘CBD’ and why you should never live without one by your side…
Black has always reigned as fashion’s power shade. Its aptitude for being both minimal and alluring asserts itself as the encapsulation of everything style stands for – being effortlessly chic. It can mesmerize and it can be understated; it can make a statement and it can blend in. Its multi-faceted nature allows one to wear it anywhere with anything at any time – bar a wedding, of course. American sculptor Louise Nevelson once suggested that “black encompasses all colours” and that when you wear the iconic hue “you can be quiet and it contains the whole thing.” Investing in a high-quality leather handbag arises many questions to ponder, most importantly the colour you’ll choose. Black is undoubtedly both the most pragmatic and elegant option.
1. Black doesn’t have a season
Within the depths of winter or the heights of summer, a black handbag will always work. It is truly unattached to the seasons as it suits them all. Despite its dark shade, a black handbag during the summery months aids to keep ensembles smart – plus it looks exquisite with white.
2. Black complements every occasion
Whether you’re heading into the city for work or the flower market at the weekend, a black handbag’s timeless nature assures that you’ll never feel over or underdressed with such a classic accessory. Tonal black ensembles for business make the most incredible power looks whilst black leather also matches casual blue denim perfectly.
3. Black suits the entire colour spectrum
Choose any outfit from your wardrobe, pick up your classic black handbag, head out the door and your tote is bound to match your outfit’s hues. Black influences different colours in different ways. Teamed with summery pastels it can add a tougher element to an ensemble. A black handbag against bold primary shades creates a modern and strong aesthetic. Despite its classic character, its versatility is endless.
Perennial in its make-up, a black handbag is a style you will only ever need one of. It’s a piece you’re likely to treasure for a lifetime and pass down through the generations. Our collection of black handbags and crossbodies are crafted in Italy from the finest full grain leather. Their high-quality craftsmanship guarantees a forever bag that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. For the fashion-conscious of both the Fifties and today, a black handbag is an absolute necessity in their wardrobe. If you want to make a statement, subtle or sincere, black still wins every time. As Coco Chanel once famously said: “I imposed black; it is still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around.”
