A Suede Tote Bag Is Top of My Wish List—Here Are the Best at Every Price Point


The power of a handbag is not only in its utility. Yes, we have a place to carry our wares, but the encasing of those possessions remains part of our everyday uniforms, and should exude the same stylish thoughtfulness that the rest of our outfits do. Whilst a bold-coloured clutch bag has its time and place, the last couple of years have seen a return to practical large style tote bags, and currently suede styles in particular are a front runner for adding a considered feel, especially as we head into autumn.
The key to a chic wardrobe during the upcoming transitional months lies in juxtaposing textures. Cosy knit dresses are layered with tougher leather jackets, crisp cotton trousers are paired with soft cashmere jumpers, and sumptuous suede adds yet another contrasting fabric to elevate your looks. But don't count out suede bags through spring and summer either—they contrast so well with airy dresses and light wash denim so can easily be a year-round investment.
There's an innate richness to this treatment of leather, that adds a matte finish to the piece. Be they high-street, mid-range, or designer creations, the suede finish alone is able to take any design to new heights. That's not just my personal opinion, it can be tracked from the extreme popularity of COS's suede numbers that have been spotted over and over again on my Instagram feed. Similarly, when The Row dropped its revered Margaux bag in a suede iteration, it sold out immediately. So impactful is this simple finish that brands from all price ranges have embraced the texture in their designs. So, below I've rounded up the very best suede tote handbags from all price points to make adding this refined style to your wardrobe even easier.
