Burgundy Bliss
Isabel Marant Naoko Shoulder Bag
Yes, yes, we know what you're thinking: "but burgundy is a winter colour!". Well, this summer it's time to rethink your seasons, with burgundy accessories set to take the sunny months by storm. And, when you think about it, it's actually the perfect shade to compliment your summer outfits: softer than black, more versatile than bold bright tones and pleasingly redolent of a chilled glass of sangria... We're particularly enamoured with the shade for smarter occasions: when a basket bag won't cut it, make burgundy your new go to.
