How To Choose a Bag Color: FAQs About Picking Your Perfect Pouch

Choosing the perfect bag color can feel like an art. Luckily, we’re here to help make that choice simpler, with answers to some of the most common questions about finding your go-to pouch from our collection of classic colors.

What Color Purses Should Every Woman Own?

At Lyons Leather Co., we’re all about minimalism and slow fashion. This means choosing fewer, high-quality pieces that you’ll love and use for years. For a timeless staple, our classic color Bees are a great place to start (Black, Espresso, Cognac, and Honey). These colors are versatile and designed to stand the test of time.

The best part? You can shop an entire collection to choose a leather pouch in your favorite size (Bee, Biggie Bee, or Queen Bee), as well as matching accessories. Pick your favorite classic color, and choose a matching Daily Wallet or Travel Wallet and Keychain! This collection has all the must-haves.

How Do You Choose the Color of Your Bag?

One of the biggest decisions to make is whether you want a black or brown bag as your wardrobe staple. Here’s a quick tip: think about what you wear on a daily basis. Do you lean toward cool tones like gray, white, or navy? If so, a black leather pouch may be your best bet. Does your style often include earth tones like beige, olive, or cream? Then a brown leather pouch will be your best friend. And if you’re somewhere in between, espresso or cognac might be the ideal choice to bridge the gap.

What Color Pouch Goes With Everything?

If you’re aiming for a leather pouch that can do it all, honey is your answer. The neutral brown, honey leather pairs effortlessly with just about any outfit. From soft pastels and bold prints to neutral tones and deep colors, you’ll never find yourself second-guessing your choice with Honey. (There’s a reason she’s our number one best seller and is almost always sold out!)

What Color Pouch Goes With Every Season?

No matter the season, black is always in style. It’s classic, sophisticated, and never clashes with the mood of the moment. Whether it’s a sleek winter coat or a breezy summer dress, black is a year-round favorite that exudes elegance.

What Color Pouch Is the Most Versatile?

When it comes to versatility, a black or cognac leather bag is a standout choice. Cognac’s warm, rich tone adds a touch of class to casual looks while seamlessly elevating more formal outfits. Similarly, black’s timeless simplicity makes it an effortless match for day-to-night styling. With either of these shades, you’ll have no trouble dressing up or down for any occasion without needing to switch out your bag.
