Style Report: Brown Suede for Fall

• Accessories crafted of rich brown suede add textural dimension and warmth to seasonal styles.
• Here’s what makes the colour-texture combo a classic for fall, plus bag and shoe product recommendations from Coach.

Is there any colour more fitting for fall than one inspired by a warm cup of coffee? And when crafted of velvety suede, bags in shades of warm, chocolate brown simply exude cosiness. Read on for everything you need to know about brown suede for fall (plus Coach recommendations for both handbags and shoes).

A softer alternative to the staple black bag, a brown bag adds a warm touch to all your fall wardrobe favourites. 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 cosy about the colour-texture combo (and it works for all sorts of autumn accessories).

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 favourites are dark chocolate and warm brown).

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, cosy knitwear and smooth leather jackets.
