If your handbag collection already has multiple black and brown neutrals, consider this your cue to embrace the elegance of burgundy. A rich, versatile color, the burnt cherry hue delivers just the right amount of color without being overwhelming. Think of it as this season’s neutral color. From rich merlots to burnt cherry to beetroot and everything in between, Fall 2026’s runway made a strong case for this shade. Whether in roomy totes or chic evening clutches, the color brought an elegant warmth to any moment.
Across New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, several burgundy bags were spotted walking down the runway. From Chanel to Balenciaga to Celine and several other designers, burgundy bags were presented in endless silhouettes. Balenciaga embraced the color in a variety of shapes; Miu Miu introduced a new bag, the Rendez-vous, in burgundy. Chanel walked several burgundy options down the runway, from their flap bag to a chic hobo bag. Designers styled burgundy bags as effortlessly as a black bag, with tonal moments in shades of red and purple (as seen at Celine), contrasted with white, paired with navy and classic neutrals. The styling pairings are endless.
