When crafted in the right shades of red, your bag will make a celebratory statement, boost your confidence, and be wearable long after the New Year’s clock strikes midnight. Whether vibrant shades of cherry or the subtler tones of rich burgundy, reach for one of these red bags for some festive flair (or gift one to someone you love).

For A Vibrant Pop of Color: Cherry Red

Bright and energizing, cherry red bags will lift the mood on even the dreariest of days; they’re also a fun way to inject some personality into looks year-round. This festive shade is flattering on just about anyone, and pairs effortlessly with everything from head-to-toe black, winter whites, denim, or even a camel coat.

Try: Alter/Ego Crescent Shoulder Bag in Upcrafted Leather in Dark Ruby, Stadium Swinger Bag in Sport Red, Twin Turnlock Bag 20 With Crystal, Ergo Bag in Coachtopia Leather With Cherry Print

For A Luxurious Note: Rich Burgundy

Complex and luxurious, the deep jewel tones of burgundy bags strike the perfect balance of elegance and festive color. Though it’s always been a fashion favorite, burgundy has been seen at the forefront of this season’s color stories, and with good reason. Its rich, moody hue is a more subtle way to bring drama to looks, and can be swapped in as a sophisticated neutral alternative to classic black—you’ll wear a burgundy bag well beyond winter.

For the Ultimate Investment: Burgundy Exotic Leather

For those with an eye for serious investment pieces or collectors of bags crafted from exotic leathers, our Rogue Bag is rendered in genuine alligator and finished with our signature hardware. Its structured shape is complemented by luggage top handles and convertible shoulder straps that can be linked together for crossbody wear.
