Monochrome Monday: Caramel Café

Somewhere between camel and coffee, Caramel Café is the new quiet luxury neutral, softening sharp jackets, dresses and bags into a low-lit, all-day uniform.

Monochrome Monday: Caramel Café

Caramel Café is the colour of everything that makes a day feel slower: first-pour espresso, varnished wood tables, sun on tiled floors, the last swirl of milk in your cup. It lives somewhere between camel and toffee, warmer than beige, softer than brown, the shade that makes skin look rested and fabrics look expensive. On leather it feels cinematic, on suiting it reads sharp, on accessories it turns into liquid metal.

This week, Caramel Café isn’t background; it’s the entire mood board. Cut into biker jackets, offset blazers, sculpted bags and soft-focus sunnies, it moves easily from “9 AM meeting” to “midnight taxi” without ever looking out of place. Worn head-to-toe, it feels like you got dressed inside a very good coffee shop.

Here’s how it pours into your wardrobe now.

Nour Hammour | Briar Jacket

Nour Hammour’s Briar Jacket is Caramel Café in full leather armour. Think cropped biker energy with couture-level finishing: clean lines, sharp shoulders, and a warm, glazed brown that looks poured, not dyed.

Rebel Cairo | The Galila Kheyameya Jacket

Rebel Cairo takes the shade into story mode. The Galila Kheyameya Jacket weaves caramel tones through traditional quilting and stitching, so it feels half art piece, half outer layer. It’s the one you reach for when you want warmth, texture and a quiet nod to craft, all in a single throw-on.

Jenny K Tran | Devon Dress

Jenny K Tran’s Devon Dress is Caramel Café as clean line. Cut close to the body with sharp, minimal detailing, it lets the colour do all the softening. The silhouette is city-ready; the shade keeps it from ever feeling harsh. Add heels and earrings and it’s ready for late dinners, or dress it down with boots and that Briar Jacket.

Karen Wazen | Rox Sunglasses

The Rox frames put Caramel Café right across your face. Wide, sculpted rims and warm lenses give everything you see, and everything that sees you, a glossy, sepia filter. Even with a white tee and jeans, they make you look like you’re on your way to a location, not just an errand.

Thuna | Palma Bag

Thuna’s Palma Bag is the handheld version of a perfect flat white. Structured yet soft around the edges, it comes in a creamy caramel tone that works with black, navy, grey, denim—everything. The top-handle shape feels polished without effort, the kind of bag that quietly upgrades school runs, coffee runs, and actual runs between meetings.

Okhtein | Studded Bangle Clutch

Okhtein turns Caramel Café into jewellery you can carry. The Studded Bangle Clutch wraps warm leather around a sculptural metal handle, dotted with studs that catch the light. It swings from wrist to table like a bracelet with storage, bringing just enough edge to balance all the softness in this palette.

Dal Concepts | Offset Button Blazer

Dal Concepts’ Offset Button Blazer is the “I have my life together” piece in Caramel Café. The off-centre closure and clean tailoring give it a subtle twist, while the coffee-toned fabric keeps it grounded. Over a tank and jeans, it’s weekend polish; with tailored trousers or a slip, it’s full grown-up energy.

Maison Margiela | 5AC Bag

Margiela’s 5AC is the anchor of the edit. In a rich, caramel-leaning leather, the iconic structured shape feels like an architectural object you happen to carry. It’s discreet, intelligent, and built to outlive trends, which is exactly what this shade does best.
