A Fine Burgundy
A few years ago I was eyeing the Gucci 1955 bag in cherry red, but didn’t go there. However, my beloved Saint Laurent hobo in burgundy is another matter altogether and I’ve already pre-ordered it. Burgundy looks really good — chic with grey and a nice alternative to my brown and tan bags. Expected to ship late July, this hobo will be ideal for fall. My first of five — or, second if I count the Saint Laurent boots from Paris…

Burgundy does look fresh to me these days, too. I love the knee socks with the black.
Love this! So old school and fab and classic — chic
Burgundy looks so new and fresh! You’re right – a great alternative to tan or brown
Oh yes to all that! My Bordeaux Ferragamo is a small but not mini structured boxy shape with handle and crossbody strap. I pulled it forward in the closet as it hadn’t seen much use for awhile. It’s color is perfection especially in the fall. Guessing it’s about 8-10 years young?! It’s a yummy color!! Have fun with that!
My school and sorority colors! I hated them then but now worth a re-visit. I love the hobo version of the 5 a 7.
Nobody is counting-that was before you started “the 5”. Love, love burgundy and grey. Honestly I think I like this colour in your bag most of all. What a lovely thing to look forward to arriving.
I have very much enjoyed the Goyard Saint Louis PM in burgundy. Not a groundbreaking purchase whatsoever; however, I am in complete agreement that it provides a fresh alternative to more neutral hues. Looking forward to Preston’s styling of the Saint Laurent hobo later this year!
That burgundy hobo will be like the finishing touch of red lipstick.
Don’t count the boots!
My most useful purchase in January was the APC clutch albane in burgundy – it fits just a phone, wallet and passport but flat enough to slip into a carryon, and doubles as an evening clutch if you remove the straps. The burgundy/oxblood looks great with a navy coat too. Initially a ‘passport bag’ but I’ve been using it for errands to keep my keys/wallet/phone close, and it slips into my large work tote.
