Please help me decide which brown bag

[WafflesOrIceCream]

Hi ,

I am in need of a brown Autumn bag.I have picked two off the high street and can't decide which to go for.One is suede and one is faux leather.

The suede one is more of a dark brown and the leather is the lighter brown.I can't afford designer ones.

Which bag would you pick??

Thank you.

I love and have always had suede handbags but they’re a real indulgence as they don’t survive rain very well (and I can’t be bothered to treat them). I have them as I don’t like leather bags. If you’re indifferent, go with the leather.

Can you link rather than screenshots as it’s really hard to properly see them.

I don’t love the style but if that’s what you’re after I probably prefer the first one but again, can’t see them well.

Yeah suede would put me off for autumn unless you treat it.

I love suede bags but they are so impractical! I’m looking for a brown tote bag.

Sorry, they are both hideous and look ‘elderly’.

If you’re on a budget then Parfois are inexpensive.

This is a more modern and in the sale

This looks much more dated to me. The east-west style ones in the OP are very in at the moment.

Fir me it's all about how secure they are. Do they have zips or press studs to close them?

@MrsMoastyToasty I'm not sure how secure they are as I have only seen them online.I may have to go in store.
