Latico Leathers, a family-run full-grain leather goods brand founded in 1984, today shared its outlook on the colors expected to define leather accessories through Fall 2026. The brand identifies chocolate brown as the season’s anchor tone, with burgundy and oxblood leather driving the more saturated end of the palette.
The direction reflects a broader move toward warm, earthy color and materials that look and feel natural. Chocolate brown continues to serve as a versatile alternative to black, pairing easily with the layered dressing the season invites. Burgundy and oxblood offer a deeper counterpoint to lighter neutrals, giving accessories a grounded seasonal character without demanding attention.
Texture is the season’s other story. Matte, tactile surfaces have gained renewed interest as shoppers look for depth and dimension in their accessories. Latico Leathers works in full-grain leather rather than suede, and makes the case that the same softness can be achieved in a material that lasts longer. Full-grain leather retains the natural markings and structure of the hide, which allows it to develop character and patina over years of use. Rather than showing wear as damage, the material matures, deepening in tone and taking on a quality shaped by how it is carried.
“Fall rewards richness and texture, and that is exactly what brown leather delivers,” said Ben Schreiber, Chief Marketing Officer at Latico Leathers. “There is a reason people return to these tones year after year. They feel warm, grounded and timeless, and they age beautifully in full-grain leather.”
Schreiber added that the appetite for deeper colors reflects a maturing sensibility among shoppers. “Burgundy and oxblood bring a quiet confidence to fall accessories. They are not loud, but they hold attention. As people look for materials that develop character with time, these seasonal tones become part of a longer story rather than a passing moment.”
The brand’s fall assortment spans the range. Its collection of brown leather bags covers the season’s anchor tone across totes, crossbody bags and backpacks, while tan leather bags offer a lighter, sun-warmed option that transitions between seasons. For the saturated end of the palette, the oxblood leather and burgundy leather collections carry the deeper reds.
Every piece is made from full-grain leather tanned in LWG-certified tanneries and handcrafted in small batches. The brand has sold over one million bags and holds more than 40,000 five-star reviews, and donates 10 meals to Feeding America with every purchase, totaling 218,430 meals to date.
