A patrician among colors, violet is never the keynote for any season. But you will find the color worthy of wearing this winter, with designers making the best of its mystery, maturity and romance with unique accessories.

Either a Gucci handbag, Christian Dior leggy boots, or Salvatore Ferragamo shawl, one piece is enough to highlight your haute taste and mysterious charms. Violet is worth the high price one may pay for a piece of luxury that will buy some happy moments.

The most trendy and practical luxury piece is a Louis Vuitton crocodile skin handbag in light violet. Decorated with shiny golden rivets and a lock, the classical rectangular-shaped satchel is good for formal occasions.

The Gucci design advances its familiar ritzy style, applying an impressive diamond-adorned logo along with trendy crocodile skin bands on a shiny satin satchel in a rich deep violet color.

The Christian Dior stilt leggy boots feature Oriental embroidery plus the Arabian number 6 on a luscious saturated violet, mixing elegance and mystery with funky hippy taste.

Another pair of Loewe high heels have slim scarlet strings around the ankles to liven up the classical violet step-in design. With hollowed-out patterns and hoof-shaped heels, the Miu Miu shoes in bluish purple are a step up for even the dashiest partygoer.

Covered with deep violet floral patterns and adorned with a black band at the edges, the Salvatore Ferragamo light violet velvet shawl is elegant beyond words. Another Escada long scarf featuring frills and fringes - recalling the panache of the Bluebell Girls of the Paris Lido - is certain to impress at parties.

The Loewe knit cap, with black geometric patterns on a violet background (or vice versa) provides cozy wear with a cute look.

The Bvlgari wristwatch, with a croc skin band and pinkish purple diamond decorations, is a real luxury but it will last a lifetime.
