Gold, Palladium or Rose Gold Hardware: How to Choose

Gold, Palladium or Rose Gold Hardware: How to Choose

On a luxury handbag, the hardware (locks, clasps, feet, chains) is more than a detail: it changes the entire character of the piece.

Gold hardware

Warm, classic and glamorous. It pairs beautifully with warm leathers such as gold, tan, red and black, and with yellow gold jewelry.

Palladium and silver hardware

Cool, modern and understated. Palladium looks especially elegant with grey, blue, white and black leathers, and with white gold or silver jewelry.

Rose gold hardware

Softer and rarer, it adds a delicate warmth, lovely on pinks, neutrals and black.

Special finishes

Brushed, ruthenium, permabrass and other limited finishes make a bag more distinctive and collectible.

Tip

Choose the hardware that matches the jewelry and watch you wear most often: your bag will feel like part of your personal style.
