DeMellier Suede Bags: Every Shape, the Colours and How to Care for Them

Suede is DeMellier’s autumn leather, and “DeMellier suede bag” is one of the brand’s biggest searches after the model names. This season it runs across almost the whole line: the New York, Stockholm, Hudson, Siena, Brooklyn and Vancouver Clutch, in hazel, tobacco, mocha, dark chocolate, midnight blue, black and fern. Coveti carries 35 suede styles on 14 October 2026, from $840 to $1,270.

Key facts

• Material: soft suede cowhide with a velvety finish, per DeMellier; some styles pair suede with smooth leather trims.
• Colours this season: hazel, tobacco, mocha, dark chocolate, midnight blue, black and fern.
• Care: keep it dry, brush it gently and store it in its dust bag.
• Repairs: DeMellier offers a 12-month guarantee and a lifetime repairs service.

Which shapes come in suede

Nearly all of them. Suede suits the softer shapes best: the Siena Bucket and the Stockholm slouch beautifully in it, and the New York in suede looks like a weekend bag rather than a work tote. On the structured Hudson, suede softens the formality.

The colours

Hazel is a deep olive-brown, the most unusual shade of the season. Tobacco is a warm golden brown. Mocha and dark chocolate are the classic browns. Midnight blue is the alternative to black. Fern, a soft green, is the shade Lena Mahfouf chose for the the ICONS 26 collection.

Suede with smooth trims

Some pieces combine suede bodies with smooth leather trims, for example tobacco suede with black smooth handles on the Hudson, and hazel suede with hazel smooth leather on the Stockholm. The smooth handles are the part that takes the most wear, so it is a practical choice.

How to care for DeMellier suede

Brush suede gently with a soft suede brush in one direction to lift the nap. Keep it away from rain and spills; if it gets wet, blot it with a dry cloth and let it dry naturally, away from direct heat. Store it stuffed with tissue in its dust bag, and avoid rubbing it against dark denim. For anything more, use the brand’s repairs service.

Suede vs small grain

The same DeMellier shape can look like two different bags depending on the leather. Small grain keeps a crisp outline and shrugs off rain and knocks, which is why it is the house choice for work bags. Suede softens the outline, shows a little more wear and gives the colour more depth, so a mocha suede Hudson reads warmer and less formal than the same bag in mocha small grain. If you own one DeMellier bag, make it small grain; if it is your second, suede is the more interesting choice.

The suede shapes worth knowing

The Siena Bucket in suede is the most relaxed bag in the line and pairs well with long knits. The Stockholm in suede keeps the zip-top practicality but loses the slight shine of fine grain. The New York in suede is the weekend tote. The Vancouver Clutch in hazel and tobacco suede is the most unexpected, a daytime clutch that works with denim.

Is suede practical?

For everyday carry in a dry climate, yes. In a rainy city, small grain leather is the safer daily bag, and suede the second bag. Compare finishes in our DeMellier review.
