So been a while since I’ve had some quality Miu Miu here on designerbags as I just haven’t seen anything to get me interested but I did spot this new tote in chocolate Suede which is looking very equestrian in its style. I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is this is a tote with winter in mind. It’s true that the colour is an autumn regular and this will probably put people in the height of (supposed) summer in doubt.
I do have to mention that Suede is definitely not for everyone as its nowhere near as durable as leather, somehow spills and especially water just seem to seep into it from every angle, and don’t even get me started on food stains. However if you are going to go for a Suede bag then I’d say dark brown would be the way to go as its going to hide those accidents much better than any colour I can’t think of. By the way has anyone ever tried some of the specialist cleaners for Suede as I have heard some good things but I’m always weary about using a 3rd party product on my handbag.
As you can see from the picture the leather handles and buckles fit really well with the overall theme even the gold shoulder strap that I definitely wasn’t sure about from the start grows on you after a while (it is detachable). It’s cheap for a Miu Miu at around £1000 in most places but for a bag that’s really only for one season this could be too expensive for some.

Ok so i know we have been looking at mostly leather handbags on the blog over the last few posts but i think its about time we has some beautiful suede to add to our collection. This designer bag is from DKNY and while their reputation in the bag market has come mostly from the leather range however they are starting to really branch our now into some great designs. This is another hobo bag that has a really casual drawstring around the top which will allow you to just throw whatever you need into it.
Because of its ultimate versatility i think this is a really great bag for everyday use and should get alot of use. Also i think the colour is going to go really well with alot of outfits, i think that everything from jeans to leather jackets should work really well with this bag. The leather strap that holds the bag looks really comfortable too and i suppose this is something you are always looking for in a bag that you are going to be using every day. Too many times i have seen friends buy designer bags and justifying the price by saying they are going to use it every day. However this idea often falls apart when they realise that many of todays designer handbags are not really meant for constant use, im not trying to say that they are all uncomfortable but remember style does often come at a price and i don’t just mean money!
So with all that being said i think this is a great bag by DKNY and probably one of my favourites this year. Its not the cheapest coming in at around £200 but i think this is a style of suede that is not going to go out of style for quite some time. Check them out a DKNY.com soon as i think buying direct can save you a few pounds though its always best to shop around a little.
