Muted Monochrome

After the festivities and bright hues of the end-of-year season, hit reset with muted palettes and tried-and-true silhouettes. A classic black carrier will pair effortlessly well with most outfits, and a timeless style like the Aubrielle quilted backpack ensures you are never off-trend. The minimalists may prefer an even simpler design, such as the Petra boxy bucket bag. Its unembellished exterior acts as a versatile anchor for all your looks, be it leisure wear or office-ready outfits. For those who dress in lighter colours, cream and beige options are chic and evergreen.

For a contemporary take on monochromes, look for subtle textures. Padded diamond quilting — as seen on the Cressida crossbody bag — adapts the puffy trend for an elevated textural detail that has and will continue to stand the test of time. To channel laidback sophistication, the Duo two-way backpack incorporates ruching to create a slouchy profile that you can dress up or down with ease.
