There are colors that command attention, and then there are colors that invite reflection—intimate, nuanced, unforgettable. BuDhaGirl introduces Merlot to our All Weather Bangle® collection: a shade born not of passing trends, but of ancient rituals, aged elegance, and the art of deep living. Merlot is not merely a color; it is an experience—a cultivated state of mind that fuses the lush richness of vintage wine with the contemplative elegance.
Inspired by the storied wines of Bordeaux and the velvet evenings of autumn, Merlot is a divine tone—deep garnet, with undertones of earth, plum, and mystery. It is the color of harvest tables, of handwritten letters sealed with wax, of cashmere coats in city shadows. It is the hue of a woman who has lived and loved, who has traveled the vineyards of time, and who no longer seeks to impress, but to express. She is urbane, luminous, quietly powerful.
Merlot embodies the ineffable French sensibility that pairs depth of thought with instinctive elegance in other words: L’Esprit & Le Style. Our bangles are handcrafted by over twenty artisans in Thailand, honoring the craft of gold leaf-laced tubing that is now reinterpreted in a jewel-toned, wine-inspired hue. They are weightless yet grounding, soundless yet resounding with presence. They carry within them the duality that defines the modern woman—strong yet supple, bold yet composed.
This collection is not meant for the woman who is searching—it is for the woman who has found. Found what matters, what lasts, what resonates. She knows her time is precious, and so she chooses accessories that are more than beautiful—they are intentional. Merlot AWB® is not meant to decorate the wrist, but to accompany the soul. Each bangle is a vessel of memory, of presence, of projection—a silent companion through boardrooms, galleries, airports, and quiet Sunday mornings.
In terms of styling, Merlot is astoundingly versatile. It heightens the luxe in a tonal fall palette—pair it with slate gray, caramel suede, creamy camel, or navy blue. It brings a smoldering glow when layered with our BuDhaGirl Gold or Graphite AWB®. Stack it with Etoile for a shimmered decadence that recalls candlelit wine bars in Paris or rooftop dinners in New York. With Merlot, your stack speaks volumes—but always in a whisper.
But it is not only fashion that gives Merlot its power—it is intention. At BuDhaGirl, we believe luxury is not defined by price, but by presence. This is the essence of Mindful Glamour®: the daily practice of integrating beauty with awareness, and ritual with radiance. Our Merlot AWB® is an anchor to this philosophy, a reminder that every day is an opportunity to live meaningfully.

Mindful Glamour® Ritual
Mindful Glamour Ritual: Pause...Slide your All Weather Gold Bangles on one by one. Focus on being present, and in the Now. Each intention you make will be with you throughout the day...Go, Be it.
Thought: Inner peace can be attained no matter the circumstance. We must live in the present moment and take joy from this, keeping in mind that intentions do influence outcomes.
The bangles can be compromised by certain products like self-tanners or fixatives that change the color of the plastic. If fragrances or creams are in contact with the bangles, we suggest a quick rinse.
Also, keep in mind the bangles are made of flexible tubing, so they may become slightly warped, even in shipping. This condition is quickly fixed by running hot tap water on the bangle and drying it using circular motions to reshape the orb.
