While suede is admittedly one of the trickiest materials to care for, it can also look quite nice. There’s something so eye-catching about a supple suede bag. Maybe that’s thanks to its softness, begging to be touched, or maybe it’s because suede most often comes in deep, rich hues, holding color so well.
Like many others, I have sworn off suede in the past due to its unpredictability, but this season, I’m changing my tune as I find myself drawn to suede bags more and more. Suede both feels and looks luxe, and as the new season looms in the distance, it continues to be a big trend for not just fall, but all seasons, with soft suede bags continuing to reign supreme.
Fall’s Best Suede Bags Are Calling
While there are offerings in all silhouettes, from crossbody bags and top handles to totes and more, my favorite options are shoulder bags and ladylike top handles, like the Celine Cube bag, which not only look chic but also prevent the dreaded denim transfer that crossbody bags cause.
Ultimately, buying a suede bag means understanding that it will age differently from leather and require more care. Still, the journey of collecting bags is all about buying what speaks to you and makes your heart happy, and if that happens to be suede, just buy the bag.
Suede bags can be so beautiful but I will not purchase one because they are difficult to take care of.
Suede bags have been a major player in fall fashion since the 1970s. Definitely not a trend.
Also, the opening picture looks like a corpse… that is a woman murdered in her backyard while walking her dog in her bathrobe and holding on to her new Dior suede tote—stuffed with doggie poop bags.

Suede is supposed to be deep and plush, not sandpaper
I purchased a suede bag and loved it for a week and never wore it again as it looks dirty – never again
