Is it acceptable to wear a suede bag in the Spring & Summer?

[Joule]

It wouldn't bother me in the least to see someone *else* wearing suede in the summer, but I wouldn't do it myself. Not because of any perceived faux pas; I wouldn't wear it in spring, autumn, or winter, either. It's pretty, but I don't have what it takes to take proper care of suede.

I don’t tend to carry my suede bags during the day in the summer, but I have a black suede bag that looks and feels great when out at night no matter what the season.

I’m can’t even think why suede isn’t okay in spring summer so I’m a bit confused. I don’t have any suede bags but I’d totally wear them in summer if I did because it rains the rest of the time where I live (and in the summer too!).

To me suede is 100% a summer bag material, I actually would not use my suede/nubuck bags in the winter. I think it is an obvious choice to pair suede or nubuck with a pair of summer shorts and a light top, or a flowy dress. The material would actually, in my opinion, look totally misplaced with a wool coat or down jacket.

This may be an uncommon understanding but I actually think leather bags look far more ”wintery”, whilst suede falls into the summer category together with raffia and canvas, etc.

That’s an interesting point. The suede competes with other heavy winter fabrics but complements light summer fabrics. A Chloe aesthetic.

You described it much better than myself!

Exactly, suede is traditionally far more SS

I have a suede Gucci hobo bag which came out for spring/summer many years ago... I loved it so much I bought two (one for back up lol). I use it all year round just styled differently.

I agree. Suede especially in brown tan shade, adds, such a nice colour and textural contrast to summer outfits.

To be more specific, I asscociate suede with dry desert, cowboys, Native Americans, the hippies of the 60's and more recently with the boho style, which Chloe embodies and reproduces so well.

I can't wear suede most of the year due to the weather. It rains and snows most of the year. Thus SS Is the time when I can and will wear suede.

I sure do carry this lavender suede. It says summer to me.
