I love this demelier bag I'm torn between brown suede, black suede and olive,

What do you think of all the colours?

Olive is most practical as it's leather, but the brown suede is stunning!

Cuppachuchu · 04/02/2024 15:58

The olive is beautiful.

I was going to say tan, but then realised it’s not one of your options. How practical would suede be? I’m not an expert on these things, admittedly. Will your coats/jackets go with an olive bag? All the options are lovely.

I think the olive is beautiful it’s neutral enough for all year round use….

I love the olive!

CuteCillian · 04/02/2024 18:42

Mocha suede

TheBayLady · 04/02/2024 18:46

Olive. Suede is not great in the rain

ladygindiva · 04/02/2024 18:52

Mocha suede definitely. It's lovely.

Kaamos · 04/02/2024 18:54

I love the olive.

Veryinteresting24 · 04/02/2024 18:54

I like the mocha!

pregahes · 04/02/2024 19:50

I think it's olive! It's different and suede as others pointed out could be problematic.

I also think olive could actually match a lot - I wear a lot of nudes and think it is more summer and winter whereas the brown and black I see as strictly winter bags?

Mocha suede.

Thisisthedawningoftheageofaquarius · 04/02/2024 19:59

I love tan but failing that olive; think suede would be a nightmare to keep in a bag (but could be wrong)

pregahes · 04/02/2024 20:02

Is it just me or is mocha difficult to pull off in summer?

I'd go for the olive . I love it!

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 04/02/2024 20:04

The olive is just gorgeous and as you've said would work in all seasons

Floralnomad · 04/02/2024 20:06

The olive and Mocha are both lovely

boopboopbidoop · 04/02/2024 20:11

Not the suede. It's such a wide flat smooth expanse you'll see any rubbed area or water damage. Leather will be far more usable. Suede gets that rubbed corner issue too. Olive leather

PepsiMaxLime · 04/02/2024 20:20

Olive. I was just looking at this bag earlier!

TootenCarMoon · 04/02/2024 20:23

Olive! 100.%.

The mocha reminds me of the dog from The Muppets. Rolfe?

Tiswhattis · 04/02/2024 20:25

Olive is beautiful

Nichebitch · 04/02/2024 20:27

Another vote for olive here 🙋

dullandgrey · 04/02/2024 20:48

Olive!
