Most leather goods come in black or a shade of brown. wulet makes real leather in eight colours, four classics and four brights, and every shade of a piece costs the same. Here is what each shade is like and how to choose.
The four classics
- Black: deep, formal and easy. Every piece in the range comes in black.
- Dark brown: warm and steady, the natural partner for brown shoes.
- Tan: a golden mid-brown that darkens beautifully with use.
- Navy: a deep blue that reads almost as dark as black indoors.
The four brights
- Mustard: a warm, earthy gold, like turmeric.
- Tomato red: a ripe red with a touch of orange.
- Sky blue: a soft, slightly dusty blue.
- Dusty pink: a muted rose, gentle rather than sugary.
Classics for him, brights for her
The classics lead the men's pieces. The men's side shows black, dark brown, tan and navy, the shades that sit easily with office wear, formal shoes and a suit. The slim bifold, cut for him, comes in exactly these four.
The brights lead the women's pieces. The women's side shows black and tan alongside mustard, tomato red, sky blue and dusty pink. The zip wallet comes in six shades, the four brights plus black and tan, and the small crossbody and compact tote come in black, tan and a choice of brights.
Many pieces are made for everyone, so a man who wants a mustard card holder, or a woman who wants a navy phone sling, can have one.
How to choose a shade
- Start with what you wear most. If your wardrobe is grey, white and navy, black or navy will blend in, while tan and the brights will stand out against it.
- Think about your shoes and belt. Black leather sits best with black shoes, dark brown or tan with brown. A navy wallet goes with either.
- Decide if you want it seen. A dark wallet disappears into a pocket. A bright one is easy to find in a bag and adds colour to a plain outfit.
- Think about care. Dark shades hide marks. Light shades need a little more attention.
- Mix rather than match everything. A tan bag with a sky blue wallet, or a black tote with a tomato red card holder, looks more natural than a full set in one colour.
How shades age differently
All real leather changes with use, but each shade changes in its own way.
- Tan changes the most. Light and handling darken it to a deeper honey brown, starting where you touch it most.
- Dark brown deepens slightly and gains a soft shine, and small scratches blend in.
- Black and navy change least. They gain a gentle sheen and keep their depth.
- The brights warm and deepen slowly where handled. Their main risks are strong sun, which can fade bright dyes, and dye from new dark denim rubbing onto lighter leather.
Wipe marks with a soft, barely damp cloth, let leather dry away from heat, and use colourless conditioner on lighter shades.
Every shade, one price
The shade you choose never changes the price. The everyday card holder is ₹ 199 in black and in dusty pink, so choose the colour you love, not the one you think you should.
