Elevate your summer wardrobe with a luxury handbag or accessory in elegant petrol blue. A versatile and stylish hue that stands out from the crowd, a pop of petrol will pair perfectly with summer neutrals and even harmonise with brighter shades. Read on to discover why this colour works so well with leather and how we’ve incorporated it into our collection.
Humans are capable of seeing approximately one million different shades of colour, according to studies. That’s a wide variety of hues and shades – but when it comes to the world of leather accessories there are only a specific few that have established themselves as classic colours that are timeless, look great year after year and are complimentary of most outfits and aesthetics.
Black, Brown, and Tan are all obvious examples and are frequent colours of choice in our range of womens luxury leather bags. These colours are incredibly versatile which has made them popular throughout history and the go-to shades for many designers.
Whilst these shades are staples in our own collection, we also like to design products in other colours that we believe stand the test of time and will look amazing for years to come.
This includes the colour petrol: a shade that sits somewhere between green, blue and grey and is subsequently often recognised or referred to as aqua, cyan or even turquoise. Petrol is one of our favourite shades here at Maxwell-Scott, and we love creating our meticulously crafted leather goods made in this gorgeous colour.
It’s a refreshing alternative to the browns and blacks which are synonymous with leather and strikes the perfect balance between light and dark – making it great for both summer and winter wardrobes, as well as being suitable for formal and casual attire. From days at work through to socialising with friends and family – petrol looks brilliant whatever the occasion and acts as an uplifting injection of colour that brightens up all kinds of outfits.
This is demonstrated through The Rivara tote bag – our ladies leather work bag that has been designed for the everyday. Whilst a brown or black version of this bag is a more understated choice, the petrol version immediately brightens up workwear and can take you seamlessly from work to play. With plenty of room for all your essentials – this must-have work companion can adapt to every situation and showcases perfectly the versatility of this unique colour.
Another bag you’ll love in petrol is The Medolla, a leather saddle handbag made in an iconic half-moon shape that is inspired by the traditional shape of the saddle bag. Stylish within the city yet equally elegant in the countryside – this is a must-have for anyone who favours smaller, more compact bags. Choose it in chestnut tan or dark chocolate brown for a more traditional look – or be bold and opt for petrol to achieve a contemporary and colourful appearance.
Summer is finally here – meaning winter accessories are being swapped for more colourful items which compliment the new season’s wardrobe.
If you’re looking to achieve a sunnier aesthetic, a petrol-coloured bag is a simple yet effective way to do this and adds a pleasing pop of colour to all outfits. We stock a wide variety of bags in this colour that are suitable for Summer, including The Palermo – a leather bucket bag that is perfect for holidays abroad or summer nights spent wandering the city.
Designed to be worn across the body or on the shoulder with a fully adjustable shoulder strap, this true classic exudes refined elegance and is a great choice for anyone who wants to quickly update their look for Summer.
Finally another design available in petrol and ideal for everyday, casual wear is The Lucca – a slim-line leather shoulder bag. Featuring a compact structure and magnetic closure, this women’s leather handbag boasts a simple design that benefits from two main internal compartments, a small, zipped pocket in the cotton lining – as well as a handy sleeve under the flap to ensure all your belongings are kept neatly organised.
