While the rest of the world is mourning the departure of sunny weather and 9 p.m. sunsets, fashion aficionados are rejoicing over the arrival of fall—the ultimate season to cocoon ourselves in scarves, stomp around in our favorite boots, and show off all of the sweaters that have been piling up in our closets. ’Tis the season to layer and accessorize, and there are few pieces we love as much as a gorgeous handbag.

Where summer was all about canvas bags and straw totes fit for a picnic in the park or a day at the beach, fall assemblages call for a bit more repose and sophistication. Enter suede: leather’s soft, sumptuous sister that serves as the perfect base textile for your next autumn purchase. Whether it’s the material’s velvety texture or the deep, moody tones it typically complements, there’s something about suede that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the season.

Given its aura of luxury, it’s no wonder that some of the most prominent fashion houses have begun incorporating suede into their designs. It suits an array of aesthetics and silhouettes, ranging from slouchy sling bags to sleek, structured top-handle styles. Suede is as versatile as it is refined, and it might just be the missing link in your fall handbag collection.

To help kickstart your search, we’ve handpicked 25 bags that will seamlessly carry you through this season. With an array of styles and price points featured, we can almost guarantee you’ll be hopping on the trend. Happy perusing!
