First things first – think about the occasion. Different events call for different styles and sizes and even colours of bags! Make your bag your outfit's centrepiece !

Size Matters
It might sound surprising, but the size of your bag can really affect how an outfit looks. Some outfits work well with a larger bag, while others look better with something smaller and more subtle. It's also important to think about what you want or need to carry.
- If you are small, carry a smaller bag to match your height.
- If you are larger or wider, carry a medium to large bag for the right balance.
Remember, your bag should complement your look, not overwhelm it. It’s all about harmony and balance!
Matching Style and Shape Perfectly
Your bag should match your outfit perfectly. If you wear an elegant outfit, go for a sleek, compact bag such as a clutch or a small crossbody bag. If you're wearing a cool outfit, choose a tough bag such as one with buckles or multiple zips. The key is harmony – choose a bag that matches your outfit in both shape and style.
Consider the Color Palette
One of the most important things to think about when you're choosing a leather bag to go with your outfit is the colour. If you're wearing a neutral outfit, like black, white or beige, you've got more options for the colour of your bag. A classic black or brown leather bag will go with almost any outfit. On the other hand, if you're wearing a colourful or patterned outfit, choose a leather bag in a complementary or matching colour to bring the look together.
Don't Forget the Accessories
Your leather bag is the perfect starting point for a whole new look! And don't forget to add some extra shine with matching accessories. Complete your look with shoes, a belt or subtle jewellery to match your bag for a stunning ensemble!
Seasonal Shades
Just like your wardrobe, your bag colours can also change with the seasons – so get creative and have fun with it!
- Spring and summer are all about pastels like salmon pink, but also bold and vibrant colours like vibrant green and blue.
- Embrace autumn with its perfect deep earth tones: maroon brown, olive green, warm grey. These rich earthy colours are the perfect complement to any item in your wardrobe. And don't forget the essential colour for this season: red, from bright to burgundy and aubergine.
- When it comes to winter, go for classic, timeless styles like black or dark red – they're always a winner!
