This Week's Obsession: Our Top 10 Suede Bags for Autumn

This Week's Obsession: Our Top 10 Suede Bags for Autumn

Summer is in full swing, and we’re relishing every sun-soaked moment—but the thought of autumn’s arrival is already enticing us. When it comes to the new season, few materials capture the mood quite like suede. It’s a classic choice, favoured by designers time and again. Even turning up in summer collections, such as Khaite’s Medium Suede and Woven tote from this month’s Fab5.

Carrying a suede bag instantly elevates your look, adding a sense of timeless luxury—picture Upper East Side sophistication and effortless evenings at the Polo Bar. The perfect suede bag doesn’t merely complement your outfit; it transforms it, bringing a touch of autumnal romance to every ensemble.

As much as we love the carefree spirit of summer capsule collections and the charm of winter editions, autumn truly wins our affection. There’s something enchanting about crisp air, turning leaves, and the joy of discovering new wardrobe staples. This season, a suede bag is the ultimate must-have—rich in texture, effortlessly versatile, and endlessly elegant. From deep, classic tones to paler hues (despite the challenge of colour transfer and the need for extra care), our Top 10 selection proves that style always prevails.

No handbag collection is complete without a suede bag.  And now these bags come in such new and interesting colours, it’s simply a matter of deciding which one makes the cut.  Can't decide, now worries - co-owning means that you can indulge in more than one and still save money and make a more sustainable choice.

Designer Spotlight: Why  Loewe is on our designer radar and should be on yours

There’s something quietly powerful about Loewe—a brand that doesn’t shout for attention, yet consistently redefines modern luxury. Under creative director Jonathan Anderson, Loewe’s handbags have evolved into collector favourites, from the sculptural Puzzle to the effortlessly cool Hammock, and the minimalist-chic Font Tote. Their artisanal details, architectural shapes, and butter-soft leathers are a testament to the brand’s roots in Spanish craftsmanship and its forward-thinking aesthetic.

But Loewe isn’t just style without substance. The house is one of the few luxury brands making visible strides in sustainability. Their recent collections have featured upcycled materials, responsibly sourced leather, and packaging innovations aimed at reducing environmental impact. Through their Craft Prize and artisanal collaborations, Loewe champions long-lasting design and timeless appeal—key values in the circular luxury economy.

For those building a luxury wardrobe that balances longevity, artistry, and conscience, Loewe deserves a permanent place on your radar. At More Luxury Club, we see Loewe as a natural fit for our ecosystem—bags that are not only beautiful to wear but made to be shared, loved, and maintained for years to come. It will be interesting to see what the next Creative Director will bring to the Loewe brand and their iconic bags.

Love it or 'Hate It' - Chanel’s Monte-Carlo Mini Crossbody Tennis Bag

When it comes to divisive accessories, few pieces spark debate quite like Chanel’s Monte-Carlo Mini Crossbody Tennis Bag. Is it a stroke of genius or a playful indulgence best left to centre court? As the grass-court season reaches its glorious peak, we’re here to settle the score.

Let’s start with the “love it” camp—where, we must confess, we proudly pitch our tent. The Chanel Monte-Carlo Mini is more than just a bag; it’s a statement. Petite, exquisite, and meticulously crafted, it delivers the unmistakable Chanel elegance in a silhouette that whispers both nostalgia and playful modernity. The tennis-inspired nod is perfectly timed for Wimbledon, blending classic sport with high fashion in a way that only Chanel could master. It’s compact enough to slip over your shoulder as you flit between matches and the post-tennis champagne bar, yet instantly recognisable—earning knowing nods from fashion insiders and tennis aficionados alike.

But, naturally, not everyone’s game. The “hate it” crowd will point to its impractical size—barely enough space for anything more than your keys, card, and perhaps a lipstick (although, arguably, that’s all one truly needs in the Royal Box). They may call it novelty, perhaps even frivolous. They might ask, “Does the world really need another luxury mini bag shaped like sports equipment?” Fair play. But daring to stand out is what Wimbledon fashion is all about.

So—our verdict? We love it. Especially now, as Wimbledon fever sweeps the nation, this little crossbody is more than a bag; it’s a playful salute to the world’s most quintessentially British tournament. Whether you’re courtside at SW19 or simply soaking up the style from afar, the Chanel Monte-Carlo Mini Crossbody Tennis Bag is the season’s ace. Game, set, match. Like Wimbledon tickets, this is a rare find and made for sharing. WhatsApp us and let us know if you're a fan!
