The two colours

What camel and red each bring

camel

A warm, mid-light tan with a golden cast. It looks expensive, especially in wool coats and knits, and warms up every cool colour next to it.

Works best as: Overcoats, knits and trousers.

red

A pure, saturated red. The boldest accent there is: confident, festive and eye-catching.

Works best as: One statement piece or accessory.
