Fall fashion has its surefire staples: cozy knits, plaid shackets, earth-toned boots, and (most recently) an opulent suede handbag. While a soft, suede carryall is a very anti-trend piece (making it a great investment), at the moment, it is also trending among all of your favorite It girls. It's kind of the best of both worlds in that way.
Already this fall, Bella Hadid has been spotted doting Coach's viral Brooklyn shoulder bag on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has carried various suede luxury handbags, including an Hermès Birkin bag as well as Bottega Veneta's fan-favorite Andiamo. Both chose seasonal shades of brown (shocker!). But you don't have to go the ultra-aspirational route to mimic their accessories. Although the luxury market certainly knows how to produce a lavish suede purse, the internet is bursting with options for every budget and aesthetic. Trust me, I did the research.
Ahead, I’ve curated the “best of suede” from all corners of the web to give you the ultimate shopping guide.
