Read on for everything you need to know about brown suede for fall (plus Coach recommendations for both handbags and shoes).
Why Brown Suede Is in This Fall
A softer alternative to the staple black bag, a brown bag adds a warm touch to all your fall wardrobe favorites. And when crafted of suede, they bring luxe textural dimension, too. Plus, it’s not just bags in shades of brown suede that are in style this season—it’s shoes, too. There’s something inherently cozy about the color-texture combo (and it works for all sorts of autumn accessories).
The Best Brown Suede Bags
From slouchy shoulder bags to quilted crossbodies, there’s a brown suede bag for every style, every mood and every version of you. First, consider your intended use (like whether you plan to carry only the essentials or take on a few larger tech items). From there, think about style (like whether you prefer a slouchy or structured silhouette). Finally, compare all the rich shades of brown to choose from (a couple of our Coach favorites are dark chocolate and warm brown).
The Best Brown Suede Shoes
Suede has the power to elevate even the most casual shoe styles—like clogs and mules, for example—all while maintaining the laidback, off-duty vibe their slip-on silhouette is known for. And when rendered in deep shades of chocolate brown and maple, suede shoes (think clogs, loafers, flats and more) are easy to pair with fall wardrobe staples like denim jeans, cozy knitwear and smooth leather jackets.
