Michael Kors Lets discuss suede!

[CoachMaven]

I finally caved and purchased the Elyse large shoulder bag in the cinnamon color this weekend. I have been on the hunt for a suede bag, and this color is just too unique to pass up. Who here has any MK suede items? Do they hold up? Anyone else looking for a suede bag?

I have the large Lexi in Nubuck suede. It's held up quite nicely so far.

I'm also in the market for a suede bag. I think they will be popular this Fall and I don't currently have one. Must fix that.....

I agree, I keep hearing how suede is the new 'it' thing for Fall. I tend to want things before they flood the market, and then my options are limited. I remember years ago looking high and low for a grey leather bag and no one seemed to be doing anything in grey. A year later, it was everywhere and tons of options. I also had the same problem with pale pink. When I wanted it, 4 yrs ago, it was hard to find. Now, everyone has a pale pink or did at least for their Spring lines in '15 and '16.

I swore off suede shoes and bags. Too much hassle to maintain them in a good condition.

I used to think so, too, but suede can be maintained without too much hassle with the right cleaners and pre-treatments.

A little white vinegar on a cotton ball will remove most surface dirt/stains, let it dry and brush up the nap with a suede brush. My dad recently found a grease spot on a pair of his beloved driving mocassins in nubuck. I told him to grab some baby powder or cornstarch, pile it up on the grease spot and sit a stack of quarters on it (just for weight). Sure enough he called me back and the spot was 90% gone in a couple of hours. He wanted to wear them that evening but if he had had a little patience and let them be-100% of the grease would be gone. MEN.........oh well.

I am not well schooled on suede, so I appreciate any and all tips! I like the powder/cornstarch trick! For the suede brushes, are they all the same, or some brands better than others? What type of pre-treatments are also good?

I sprayed my Lilac Suede Bucket Bag with Apple Garde. It soaked in easily & looks good. I haven't used the bag yet.

Score!!! It's a beauty. I want a suede bag too but at a very discounted price. That way, if I ruin it in some sort of way, I won't mind....

Gorgeous! I love my Elyse too! I used the rain and stain protectant on it for now. Thankfully we haven't had any bad weather while I had it out, but I am also hoping it keeps any dirt away too.
