Suede tote bags
Carolyn Tote Medium in suede measures 40 × 26 × 14 cm (15.7 × 10.2 × 5.5 in) and takes a 13-inch laptop; its dense eco-leather lining keeps the suede sides upright. Jane is wider and lighter: 48 × 27 × 15 cm (18.9 × 10.6 × 5.9 in), 700 g (1.5 lb), a 14-inch laptop, with handles in smooth leather where the hand holds it. Object №03 Large comes in caramel suede.
Smaller pieces in suede: Cecilie in choco, caramel and navy blue, Sophie, Cleo, Josy, Britni, Debut and Prima.
Suede or smooth leather
Suede is matte and soft under the fingers. It asks for a little more attention than smooth leather: a brush instead of a cloth, and no creams. Our guide to leather or suede goes through the difference. For brown suede, dark choco or light caramel, read our guide to brown suede bags, and see every brown piece in brown bags.
Caring for it
Before the first wear, use a water-repellent spray made for suede. Brush with a soft suede brush in one direction. If the bag gets wet, let it dry by itself at room temperature, then brush. Do not rub a stain and do not use water. Store the bag filled with tissue paper, upright, in its fabric dust bag: suede needs air, so no plastic. The full routine is on the care page.
Questions
Can I carry a suede bag every day?
Yes, on dry days and with a little care: a water-repellent spray before the first wear and a brush afterwards. For daily use in rain, smooth leather asks for less.
Which suede tote fits a laptop?
Carolyn Tote Medium takes a 13-inch laptop; Jane takes a 14-inch one. Carry the laptop in a sleeve: our totes have no padded compartment.
What if my suede bag gets wet?
Leave it alone at first. Let it dry by itself at room temperature, away from radiators, then brush the nap back up in one direction.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery, unused and with its dust bag, box and tags. See the returns policy.
