- Is suede a practical choice for an everyday bag?
- It is soft and looks richer than smooth leather, but it needs more care. Spray it before first use, keep it out of heavy rain and brush it to lift marks.
- How does this compare with HOBO's smooth leather satchels?
- Same relaxed, slouchy shape and large capacity, but the suede body is softer and more textured. Smooth leather resists stains and rain better; suede looks and feels more luxurious.
- Will it hold its shape when it is not full?
- Not much. The unstructured suede body slouches and can sag when lightly packed, which is part of the look. Use a bag insert if you want more structure.
- Can it fit a laptop or tablet?
- The main compartment is large enough for a tablet and most everyday items. A full-size laptop is a tight fit and the soft body gives it little protection.
- How should I clean brown suede?
- Brush dry dirt off with a suede brush and blot spills right away. Avoid water and household cleaners, and use a suede eraser on scuffs.
- Where is the HOBO Large Satchel In Suede Leather cheapest?
- At Hobo, for $398.00, as of our latest check.
