Bronx and Banco Vegan Croc Leather and Suede Guide

Fall Winter 2026 gave Bronx and Banco a wardrobe, not just a gown rail. Its centre is a set of croc-embossed vegan leather separates, jackets, shorts, a cape top and a maxi skirt, alongside a family of suede-look jackets and shorts. All of them are made from polyurethane, not animal leather. Worn together they make a full outfit; worn apart they give a gown wardrobe something to do on the days between events. Shop them on the Bronx and Banco hub and in designer jackets.

Quick answer

• Is it real leather? No. The croc-embossed pieces and the suede pieces are polyurethane.
• Key jacket: the Vegan Croc Embossed Belted Dark Brown Jacket, oversized with a belt.
• Key separates: the Vegan Croc Embossed Maxi Skirt and the Vegan Croc Embossed Burgundy Shorts.
• Care: wipe with a damp cloth; no dry cleaning and no iron.

The croc-embossed jackets

The Vegan Croc Embossed Jacket is the clean, versatile option, and the Vegan Croc Embossed Belted Dark Brown Jacket is the statement: oversized through the shoulder and belted at the waist, so it works as a coat over knitwear. For a longer line, the Vegan Camel Leather Trench Coat takes the same material into a full trench.

Shorts, the cape top and the maxi skirt

For evening there are shorts, the Vegan Croc Embossed Burgundy Shorts and the Vegan Croc Embossed Dark Brown Shorts, which work with sheer tights and a heel. The runway pairing of the Vegan Croc Leather Cape Top and the Vegan Croc Embossed Maxi Skirt is the most dramatic look of the group.

The suede pieces

The suede pieces have the soft, brushed finish of suede but are also polyurethane. The Hayden Suede Belted Jacket and the Hayden Suede Dark Brown Belted Jacket are belted jackets with a clean collar. Pair them with the Suede Shorts for a full suede look, and with straight black trousers for the office. The Oasis Khaki Eco Suede Jacket is the lighter, earlier take on the same idea.

How to style croc and suede, day to night

How polyurethane leather wears

Polyurethane, often shortened to PU, is a coated fabric that copies the look of leather. It is lighter than most leather, does not need conditioning and keeps a sharp embossed texture. It also has limits. It does not soften and mould to the body the way leather does, and it does not breathe as well, so it is best for cool weather and evening. Heat is its enemy: keep it away from radiators and car dashboards, and never iron it.

Care

• Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and let it dry naturally.
• Do not dry clean it, do not machine wash it and do not iron it.
• Store on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.
• Keep the suede pieces dry and brush the nap gently.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bronx and Banco croc real leather?

No. The croc-embossed jackets, shorts, cape top and skirt are polyurethane, a vegan leather alternative.

Is the Bronx and Banco suede real?

No. The Hayden jackets and the shorts have a suede finish but are made from polyurethane.

How do you clean vegan leather?

Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and let it dry at room temperature. Do not dry clean, wash and iron polyurethane: wipe it instead.

How do you style croc separates for evening?

Pair them with something soft and dressy, such as a feather-cuff top, with a pointed heel. A silk blouse works too.

Does polyurethane stretch?

Very little. Choose your usual size and expect the fit to stay the same over time, unlike real leather, which relaxes.
