Bonbonnière

Orange is a statement, and the statement is: I brought my own sunshine. This is the Bonbonnière color that doesn’t try to blend in. The shade sits somewhere between tangerine and burnt orange — warm enough to wear with beige and brown, bright enough to spot from across a room. The baguette body measures 30 x 10.5 x 12 cm and the orange covers the full surface, interrupted only by the dark leather trim at the edges and the silver clasp at the center. The two long handles let you carry it in the crook of your arm for a neat horizontal line, or on your shoulder for a longer vertical drop. The interior is simple: one pocket, open space, enough for the daily handful of things you actually carry. Orange works best when the rest of your outfit is quiet — white shirt, blue jeans, that’s the whole look. Let the bag do the work.
