Fall's Hottest Hue: Burgundy
Fashion editors and designers love burgundy for fall. The rich hue was seen in buttery leathers, classic suiting and fluid dresses. Pretty sheath dresses from Prada, woven leather skirts from Bottega Veneta, whimsical feather trimmed cocktail dresses from Ferragamo and sharp menswear inspired suiting from Gucci were all sent down the runway in burgundy. Fall 2024 is all about luxurious burgundy shades, from cherry to merlot and oxblood. If you're looking to add burgundy to your fall rotation, an Hermès bag is a timeless and sophisticated choice. It will pair perfectly with other burgundy pieces for a tone on tone look or add a pop of fall's most important hue to your neutrals.
Hermès Bags in Burgundy for Fall
Our favorite Hermès burgundy hues include Rubis, Rouge H, Bordeaux and Rouge Sellier. Take a closer look at five must have Hermès bags to complement fall's hottest color trend to wear now and for seasons to come.
1. Hermès Birkin Burgundy Canvas
The Hermès Birkin is the most sought after bag from Hermès with over 1 million monthly online searches. While you can't buy a bag online from Hermès, Sotheby's has a curated selection of Birkin bags available including Birkins perfect for fall. We love the canvas and leather Birkin bags as a fun alternative to all leather or exotic material. A Birkin in burgundy canvas with black box leather is the perfect choice for day and will pair with basic black as well as a burgundy coat or monochrome burgundy.
2. Hermès HAC Birkin 40 Bordeaux Shiny Alligator
If you want to make a statement, an Hermès HAC Birkin 40 in bordeaux shiny alligator is the perfect fall bag. The Hermès Haut à Courroies or HAC was the first bag from the brand originally designed in the early 20th century. It was created to carry a saddle and a pair of riding boots with elegance. The Hermès HAC is increasingly a popular choice for men as a daily bag. The HAC is also a popular travel bag for weekend getaways. The rich burgundy color and bold shiny alligator in an Hermès HAC is the perfect partner with buttery leathers that were also all over the fall runways.
3. Hermès Kelly Rouge H Box Leather
The Hermès Kelly is another timeless bag for fall in a rich tri-color combination including Rouge H. This Kelly bag complements rich brown colors which is another hot color trend for fall. While smaller Kelly 25 and Kelly 28 bags are more popular, a larger Kelly 32 is very aligned with The Swans trend that ruled many fall collections. Channel your inner Grace Kelly with a burgundy Kelly 32 to pair with a classic pencil skirt and fitted cardigan from Prada.
4. Hermès Bolide Bordeaux Shiny Porosus Crocodile
The Hermès Bolide was the first handbag with a zippered closure when it was introduced in 1923. It was initially named, “le sac pour l'auto," but was later affectionately renamed, Bolide, a 16th century word for a comet, and an homage to the newly booming sports car industry at the time. A shiny crocodile Hermès Bolide in bordeaux exudes polish and sophistication and is another Hermès bag you can pair with your Swans inspired looks for fall.
5. Hermès Picotin Rouge H Clemence
The Hermès Picotin was launched in 2002, modeled after a horse’s feed bag. The simple and functional Hermès Picotin in Rouge H is a fun casual way to add burgundy to your fall rotation. Pair a Rouge H Picotin with denim and gray cashmere sweater for easy stylish weekends. At around $5,000 on the secondary market, the Picotin is one of the most accessible Hermès bags.
