The Tenby — Chocolate Mini Suede Crossbody Bag

Chocolate suede is a deep, soft brown with a velvety nap. It is the easiest suede to live with, since it hides marks and goes with almost everything.

This is the Tenby mini in suede: the same half-moon crossbody with a zip along the curve, in soft cow suede edged with smooth leather.

It is 7.75″ (20 cm) wide, 5″ (13 cm) tall and 2″ (5 cm) deep, with a strap that adjusts up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop. Phone, cards, keys and a lip balm.

Inside there is one open slip pocket sized for cards. It comes with a detachable 0.75″ (2 cm) smooth leather crossbody strap, up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop.

Choose the suede Tenby for autumn evenings and anyone who likes a softer, matte look. For a mini you can wear in the rain, see the smooth leather minis. Or browse all our suede crossbody bags.

The suede

Suede is the inner side of the hide, brushed until it has a soft, velvety nap. It is a different thing from full-grain, and we say so: it is softer and lighter but less resistant to rain. Every edge, the strap and the parts your hands touch most are trimmed in smooth full-grain leather.

How it is made

Suede panels are cut, bound in smooth leather along every edge and hand stitched in our own workshop. Binding the edges is what stops suede from fraying or stretching at the corners.

Care

Brush it with a soft suede brush to lift the nap, use a suede protector spray before the first wear, and let it dry naturally if it gets caught in rain, then brush again.
