As the seasons change and winter approaches, it is not your coat and boots that need a change, but your accessories. A burgundy handbag is the highlight of the pieces that will easily take cold-weather outfits to the next level. Its warm, dark color seems entirely in harmony with winter tones, from cozy sweaters and camel coats to black leather shoes and wool pants. Burgundy is not neutral, it is a very rich and personal color that does not overpower your wardrobe, hence it is a must in any wardrobe of a person who is style-conscious and substantial enough.
In addition to aesthetics, burgundy is also versatile: it can be combined with dull winter colors, worn with jewelry, and even revive the all-black outfit. This is what makes fashion editors and fashion setters alike focus on burgundy bags as the timeless and indisputable essentials of the season, which look like season after season.
