If florals are the answer to springtime, then suede and nubuck are surely the go-tos for the fall season. Once a staple for outerwear and footwear, these buttery-soft leathers are excellent choices on bags as well.
Their rich textures and earthy hues perfectly complement the autumnal palette while offering refreshing alternatives to any bag wardrobe. Just in time for fall-winter 2025, four fashion brands release their very own takes.
01 - Bottega Veneta Small Andiamo, SGD6300
The iconic Intrecciato weave on this Bottega Veneta classic takes on a new dimension in soft suede. The material creates a tactile, almost plush surface that’s absolutely lush to the touch. The brass knot hardware, a signature Andiamo detail, gleams against earthy brown suede hues.
Familiar yet fresh, the Small Andiamo in either Amber or Cypress suede is the perfect companion for a cosy afternoon at a café. Completing the ensemble, a tonal sliding crossbody strap allows for wearing in two different lengths. BOTTEGA VENETA
02 - Celine Medium Nino Bag, SGD5100
Celine offers a more structured take on the trend with the Medium Nino Bag in nubuck calfskin. The bag’s clean, architectural lines are softened by the velvety feel of the nubuck. But its focal point lies in the striking gold Triomphe hardware, an artistic piece that doubles as a clasp.
An alternative to classic crossbody flap bags, the Nino features an extra top handle for added versatility. This seasonal iteration is also great for pairing with tailored coats and wide-leg trousers for the ultimate autumnal ensemble. CELINE
03 - Loewe Large Pebble Bucket Bag, SGD4250
For a relaxed hobo vibe, Loewe’s Large Pebble Bucket Bag in suede is definitely the one to watch. The slouchy suede gives the bag a luscious feel from the get-go, which then extends inward with smooth nappa leather on the reverse. You can’t miss the oversized Pebble clasp that not only adds a playful and graphic touch.
It also serves as an adjustable feature to convert the style from shoulder bag to crossbody with a quick switch. Perfect to grab on your way out the door, the Pebble Bucket Bag will effortlessly elevate any outfit, whether it’s for grocery runs or weekend getaways. LOEWE
04 - Miu Miu Arcadie Matelassé Suede Bag, SGD5200
Miu Miu brings a youthful spin with the Arcadie Matelassé Suede Bag. The brand’s signature matelassé quilting, typically seen on leather, is rendered in soft, supple suede for a delightful contrast. In fact, this bag is a celebration of texture, right down to the handles, hanging tag and zipper pulls.
Expect a complete suede overdose with this boxy bag. Layer on charms for extra personality, or you can always opt for options from Miu Miu’s extensive bag accessories collection to amp up on the look. MIU MIU
