The Launch of Pine

Introducing Pine: A New Chapter for Honey & Toast Handbags

At Honey & Toast we believe that handbags are more than just accessories — they’re the companions that carry you through everyday life. That’s why we design pieces that combine timeless style, practical function, and exceptional quality. This autumn, I am so thrilled to introduce a new colour to our collection: Pine, a rich and sophisticated dark green leather that feels both classic and refreshingly modern.

Launching on 1st October 2025, Pine will debut in our two of our bestselling shapes — the Half Moon Bag and the Large Half Moon Bag — with the Frances Sling Bag following in early November. All in strict limited numbers for 2025. Crafted in Somerset from beautiful Italian leather, Pine is set to become your go-to shade for the season and beyond.

🌲Why Pine? A Colour Designed to Endure

Every colour we add to the Honey & Toast collection is carefully considered. We want shades that don’t just follow fleeting trends, but become reliable wardrobe staples. Pine is a deep, dark green that echoes the richness of evergreen forests and the quiet strength of nature.

Green is often associated with renewal, growth, and calm. As a handbag colour, it is unexpectedly versatile — just as easy to pair with denim as with tailoring. Unlike brighter shades, dark green brings depth without overpowering your outfit. In the same way Conker for you. Pine is subtle yet distinctive: it’s not black, it’s not brown, but it carries the same timeless neutrality and multi seasonalilty.

For customers who love handbags that last, Pine offers the best of both worlds: a colour with personality that still complements your entire wardrobe. Whether you’re running errands, commuting to work, or dressing up for dinner, Pine will slip seamlessly into your life.

🇮🇹 🇬🇧 Italian Leather, Somerset Craftsmanship

Just like the rest of our collection, the new Pine handbags are made in England using stunning Italian leather. We’ve worked closely with our trusted tannery in Italy to select a leather that not only looks beautiful but also stands the test of time. The grain is smooth, soft yet structured, the finish is supple, and the colour saturation of Pine gives the leather an incredible depth.

Our skilled makers in Somerset transform this leather into the Half Moon and Large Half Moon bags you know and love. Every stitch, edge, and strap is finished by hand with care, ensuring a bag that will be by your side for years. This combination of Italian materials and British craftsmanship lies at the heart of Honey & Toast, and Pine is a perfect expression of it.

🌲🌙 The Half Moon Bag in Pine

The Half Moon Bag is THE Honey & Toast icon. Compact yet practical, it’s designed to fit all your daily essentials without weighing you down. Loved by customers for its versatility, the Half Moon can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder thanks to its adjustable strap.

In Pine, the Half Moon takes on a new character. The dark green leather highlights the bag’s elegant curved silhouette, making it a sophisticated choice for day or night. Pair it with a trench coat and loafers for work, or jeans and knitwear for weekend strolls — the colour adapts effortlessly.

🌲🌙 The Large Half Moon Bag in Pine

If you love the shape of the Half Moon but want more space, the Large Half Moon Bag is for you. It offers the same streamlined silhouette but with extra room inside — perfect for those days when you need to carry more than just the essentials such as your Kindle or paperback.

The Large Half Moon in Pine makes an ideal work bag or travel companion. Its generous interior holds everything from notebooks and tablets to an extra scarf or water bottle. Despite the capacity, the design remains lightweight and comfortable to wear.

With Pine, this practicality meets elegance. The dark green hue brings a polished finish to a bag you’ll want to take everywhere.

Coming Soon: The Frances Sling Bag in Pine

While Pine officially launches on 1st October 2025 in the Half Moon and Large Half Moon bags, there’s more to come. In early November, I am excited to be introducing Pine to the Frances Sling Bag.

The Frances Sling is a relaxed, hands-free design that works beautifully crossbody. Its compact size and easy silhouette make it perfect for weekends, travel, or whenever you want a lighter option. In Pine, it will feel modern and elevated, the kind of bag that instantly refreshes your wardrobe.

How to Style Pine

One of the best things about Pine is its versatility, green after all is the colour of nature so really will look great with every other colour... Here are some ideas for how to wear it:

• Everyday Neutrals: Pair your Pine handbag with beige, cream, or grey tones for a look that feels fresh but understated.

• Classic Denim: Dark green sits beautifully against blue denim, whether you’re wearing jeans or a chambray shirt.

• Autumnal Layers: Pine complements rich seasonal shades like damson, mustard, and rust without clashing.

• Monochrome Minimalism: For a sleek look, wear Pine with an all-black or navy outfit — the colour will pop just enough to stand out.

Pine truly bridges the gap between bold and neutral, making it a reliable choice across seasons.

A Colour to Invest In

At Honey & Toast, we encourage thoughtful purchases. Choosing a handbag in Pine means investing in a piece that won’t go out of style. Its rich, evergreen tone feels special without being seasonal — you’ll carry it year after year, through shifting trends.

The fact that Pine is launching in our bestselling styles means you’re getting not only a beautiful colour but also a shape that customers have already loved and trusted. It’s the perfect way to update your wardrobe with something timeless yet new.
