Mocha Mousse: this season's hottest colour
Announced as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2025, this warming brown hue carries with it a sense of richness, comfort and timeless refinement.
A colour born of cocoa, chocolate and coffee tones, Mocha Mousse embraces an earthy elegance that resonates in interiors, beauty, and fashion alike.
Autumn/Winter 2025’s runways confirmed what many of us have felt: brown is no longer the supporting player. From full brown ensembles to accessories and outerwear, designers have explored its many voices, deep espresso, toasted almond, soft cocoa, dark chocolate, each shade adding depth, warmth, texture.

It’s a season where the neutral becomes a statement
Vogue’s AW25 coverage highlights how brown is infiltrating everything from suede bags to glossy leather pieces, delivering polished outfits that feel rich without being overly ornate.
For Osprey London, this is precisely the kind of colour story that aligns with our brand DNA. Craftsmanship, heritage leather, thoughtful details - brown brings out every stitch and every handcrafted touch. A Mocha-toned belt aged by wear; a satchel in rich tobacco; soft grain leather that patinas over time – these aren’t trends that flicker and fade. They are born to endure.
In everyday style, brown offers endless possibilities. An entire outfit in tone-on-tone brown feels quietly luxurious. Contrasting brown with cream, camel or ivory softens the ensemble; pairing with muted jewel tones like deep teal or forest green adds depth. Even small accessories, a leather strap, a handbag, brings Mocha Mousse into your rotation.
Moreover, brown conveys comfort in a way that’s both visual and emotional. So this AW25, think beyond black. Embrace the warmth. Let Mocha Mousse lead your palette.
