Suede bags are having a renaissance and we’re totally here for it. Like moon boots and Ugg boots, they’ve been a must-have accessory this winter. However, we’re predicting that suede bags will be the arm candy of choice for much longer than just a season, making them a very worthwhile investment.
The high street is certainly no stranger to 70s-inspired fashion. Suede trench coats and suede blazers have also been having a major comeback recently. If you fancy giving the trend a go but don’t want to go full-on suede, a bag is a great place to start. The trending accessory is a firm favourite of style queen Katie Holmes, who is often spotted sporting a piece of fuzzy arm candy. One of her recent bags of choice is from high street favourite, Dune and is still available to buy now.

For brunch with the girls or a date night, a smaller shoulder bag or crossbody makes for the perfect on-trend accessory.
