Gold, Silver or Matte: What a Bag's Hardware Does to an Outfit

A bag's metal parts are its own jewellery, and they either agree with the metal you are wearing or argue with it. Hardware means the zips, clasps, rings and chain links, and it comes in three moods: warm gold-tone, cool silver-tone, and matte.

Pick a hardware finish and the metal you are wearing in the interactive to see whether the pair matches, mixes or stays quiet, and how to adjust it. Then learn how to mix gold and silver so it looks planned, and what to look for in a bag at any budget.
