For years, black has ruled the winter wardrobe- effortless, iconic, always safe. But in 2025, something richer is calling. Two new hues are stepping into the spotlight with all the elegance of black, but with a lot more personality: Forest Green and Burgundy.
These are the new power colours. Deep, grounded, and quietly bold, they bring a fresh energy to cold-weather dressing- especially in accessories. From burgundy handbags to green tote bags, this season is all about adding depth and distinction to your daily carry.
Forest Green: Understated, Elevated, Unforgettable
There’s something timeless about green — but forest green is in a league of its own. Rich and refined, it pairs effortlessly with neutrals, yet stands out in a sea of black. It's the colour of cool confidence.

Forest green gives it that elevated earthiness that works with everything in your wardrobe. (Sutton Forest Green is restocking shortly, be quick to snap it up).
Burgundy: The Quiet Luxury We’re Craving
Where red is bold and bright, burgundy is confident and controlled. It's moody, warm, and surprisingly easy to wear- especially when paired with winter whites, chocolate tones, and soft greys. In vegan leather and softly sculpted shapes, it becomes an instant classic.

How to Style the New Neutrals
- With black: Ironically, these shades look best when styled with black. Forest green and burgundy break up monochrome in the most luxurious way.
- With warm tones: Pair with camel, chocolate, or ivory for a rich, tonal look that feels curated and chic.
- With denim: Whether it's a weekend uniform or casual Fridays, these bags elevate everyday outfits with zero effort.
The Takeaway
Black bags will always have their place. But this winter, we’re reaching for colour with just as much power and a lot more depth. Whether it’s the grounded calm of forest green or the bold richness of burgundy, Louenhide’s latest edit proves that switching from black doesn’t mean losing versatility- it means gaining style.
