Black or brown – that’s the general world we live in when it comes to leather goods for men. And while there are brands out there that do provide a selection of colours and styles, adding on a bright mustard yellow briefcase or a teal wallet might be a bit daunting for the cautious gent.

Enter Tocco Toscano’s latest fall/winter offering: the POMINO collection. The entire series is crafted using Saffiano leather and comes in a timeless shade of black or the hero of the collection, a deep maroon that’s inspired from Florence’s famed Pomino red wine.
How does one incorporate a maroon leather good into an outfit, you say? For starters, the POMINO collection’s treatment of maroon strikes the right balance between richness of colour and subtlety. It’s a tone that will definitely get deeper and better with age, just like fine wine.

For best effect, an all-black outfit is the way to go. It helps to heighten the richness of the colour and makes the accessory the key focus. The pop of colour is also a great way to keep your look sharp. Or go monochromatic and play around with different tones of red to make the accessory work for you. It does take a little more effort but if done right, it makes for an impressive overall statement.
