Pantone’s Color of the Year

Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year is called Living Coral.  It’s more of an orange than a coral, but an orange that has a softness to it.  Pantone describes it as “an animated, life affirming shade of orange with golden undertones.”  It’s a happy color, one that Pantone says “symbolizes our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits.”  Months ago, when we selected our new spring/summer color— one we call HC Orange—we had no idea what the Color of the Year would be.  But we knew we loved this soft orange shade, one that can be worn with so many colors in our wardrobes.  And yes, it does spark joy, something we think is important when choosing a handbag.  Trust us—it will make you smile each time you carry it.
