Is suede a good material for an everyday bag?

Suede looks rich and feels soft, but it marks and stains more readily than smooth leather. Treat it with a suede protector and brush it after wear. For daily commuting in rain, a leather bag holds up better.

Will it hold its shape when full?

The structured silhouette is built to stand upright, so it keeps its form with normal loads. Overstuffing a structured suede bag can stretch the material and crease it.

How does it compare with leather True Religion bags?

The roomy main compartment is sized for everyday essentials: phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small pouch. The structured shape means bulky items are best kept to a minimum.

How should I care for the suede?

Brush the nap with a suede brush to lift marks, and keep it away from water and oily surfaces. Store it stuffed with paper in a dust bag so the shape holds.
