Bonbonnière

Yellow is the color that makes strangers ask where you got your bag. This Bonbonnière in butter-yellow canvas doesn’t hide, doesn’t whisper, doesn’t pretend to be a neutral. It’s a rectangle of sunshine measuring 30 x 10.5 x 12 cm, and on a gray day it does more for your outfit than any other accessory could. The yellow has warmth — closer to marigold than lemon — and the dark leather handles and trim anchor it so it doesn’t float. The texture of the canvas gives the yellow some depth. Two carry modes from the elongated handles: hand for a horizontal line, shoulder for a vertical drop. Inside is one pocket and enough room for the daily rotation of things you carry. Yellow works with navy, with white, with gray, with denim. It works with almost everything except other bright colors. This is the bag for someone who already has the black one and wants the fun one.
