Orange, the Colour of Astonishment

Patent leathers exude timeless elegance with an irresistible touch of vintage charm. Similarly, the alluring leopard pattern has its vintage roots but continues to captivate with its striking presence (Read about the leopard print allure in this article). The fusion of these two elements births a truly original look, be it in your private dressing room or your daily adventures. Embodying a seamless blend of Sixtie sfunkiness and contemporary sophistication, the Sateen clutch transcends trends while remaining utterly stylish.

Express your individuality through personalized choices in materials and patterns, opting for vibrant colors that may pleasantly surprise and grant your handbag a distinct, radiant allure that mirrors your very essence.

Why not explore the mesmerizing world of orange? The colour itself inspires me, reminiscent of the vivid hue found in the citrus fruits flourishing in my garden, which I transform into delectable jams. Imagine that tangy burst of flavor, infused with a hint of vanilla, balancing the fruit’s natural bitterness. An interesting fact: Seville oranges, known for their remarkable bitterness, find their true purpose in the art of marmalade-making—a delightful treat cherished by our dear British friends. Interestingly, certain fruits from the sour orange trees gracing the royal palace of the Alcazar were exclusively reserved for the kitchens of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

But let’s return to the colour itself, a brilliant hue that illuminates architectural structures andornamental accents. Personally, I love the 1960s and 1970s, an era when orange truly took center stage: from warm, inviting carpets to iconic designer lamps like the “Nesso” model—shaped like a mushroom—conceived by Giancarlo Mattioli for Artemide. Even now, wecherish the vibrant cheerfulness this timeless classic continues to bring. Of course, an array of other inspiring models can be discovered, as showcased in this AD article (in French).

Combining the invigorating orange colour, striking leopard pattern, and classic patent leather makes a statement that won’t leave anyone indifferent. It’s a bold and daring choice for some, while for others, it represents a classic emblem of sophistication. However, what makes this choice truly fascinating and enjoyable is the fact that it is entirely your own—a reflection of your unique taste and personality. Embrace the astonishing allure of orange and let your style shine unapologetically.

All the best,
