Dense as lacquer, shiny as molasses. This is why winter red is well suited to leather and patent leather as well as to the veiled transparencies of layers upon layers of material and seduction. All this and much more is contained within a chromaticity that has conquered and seduced the market and that is here to dye our universes with rouge vibes .
