- Is the Brooklyn 28 good for everyday use?
- Yes. The medium size fits a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small pouch, and the shoulder strap keeps your hands free. The suede is the main trade-off for daily use.
- How does suede hold up in rain?
- Poorly. Suede absorbs water and can stain or stiffen, so avoid wearing it in wet weather and treat it with a suede protector before first use.
- Does it work as a crossbody bag?
- No. The Brooklyn 28 is built as a shoulder bag with a shoulder-length strap, so it sits under the arm rather than across the body.
- Will the bag keep its shape?
- Not fully. The suede is soft and unstructured, so the bag slouches and can sag when lightly loaded. Stuffing it when stored helps it hold shape.
- What should I check before buying?
- Confirm the suede color and the strap drop suit how you carry a bag, and plan on a protector spray and a dust bag for storage.
