Why Rich Burgundy is the Colour You Need Now
A deep, decadent hue is taking centre stage across runways, street style feeds and curated wardrobes alike. Meet rich burgundy - a bold, wine-soaked shade that oozes luxury, depth and quiet confidence. It’s timeless yet daring, and it’s fast becoming the go-to colour for fashion-forward buyers looking to elevate their look without sacrificing wearability.
More versatile than black, more intriguing than red, burgundy is the unexpected neutral that flatters every skin tone, works across textures and transitions seamlessly from day to night.
Here’s how to wear it five different ways:
1. The Luxe Boilersuit
For the ultimate one-and-done statement, reach for a rich burgundy boilersuit. Think structured shoulders, zip detailing and a cinched waist for that strong-meets-effortless silhouette. Dress it up with heels and a coat, or ground it with sneakers for streetwear cool.
This hero piece is a timeless wardrobe staple with a structured silhouette in an imported Italian fabric to create comfort, wearability and a classic, rich tone.
Contrast stitching draws the eye and adds depth, while fastenings are designed for movement and fun with a zip through the middle and quality brass clip-up buttons at the cuffs and pockets.
The Frankie Boiler Suit is tailored to the body and gathered at the waist; however, belt loops have been added for the wearer who likes to add a little extra.

2. The Versatile Top
Wear it layered under an oversized blazer, tucked into high-waisted trousers or peeking out beneath a chunky scarf. Day or night, it adds warmth without bulk - and serious outfit points.
Every element of The Stella Blouse has been designed to cross the day and night divide, with soft, luxury fabric, feminine detailing and considered stitching making this a special piece on its own or playing with others.
The cuffs on The Stella Blouse are gently ruched to add structure and a glamorous aesthetic while also allowing the wearer to adjust the positioning of the sleeve with ease and comfort.
Panels of The Stella Blouse is stitched delicately into a classic ‘V’ shape while the back hem is scooped slightly lower than the front, carrying through an element of modern minimalism and transforming this into a unique, sought-after piece with a little Western grit. Buttons are fabric to blend in, so all eyes are on the main prize. Made in Bali.

4. Tailored Trousers for the Modern Minimalist
Rich burgundy tailoring is the bold move you didn’t know your weekday wardrobe needed. Go head-to-toe with matching suiting or break it up with a simple tank and statement belt. Structured but never stiff.
Who wears the pants? Everybody, baby. This garment has been thoughtfully created for every wearer, with tailoring in all the right places and considered detailing including deep statement pockets, a stretchy waistband and belt loops to ensure sophistication and comfort.
