The Buxton — Taupe Suede Crossbody Bag

Taupe is a grey-brown suede, quiet and cool, that works like a neutral with black, navy, camel and white.

The Buxton is a soft suede crossbody: a rounded rectangle with a zip top, edged all round in smooth leather, on a long adjustable strap.

It is 9.75″ (25 cm) wide, 7″ (18 cm) tall and 2.75″ (7 cm) deep, and the strap adjusts up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop. Phone, card wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small pouch.

Inside there is one zip pocket and one open phone pocket. It comes with an adjustable 1″ (2.5 cm) smooth leather crossbody strap on solid brass swivel clips, up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop.

Choose the Buxton if you want the warmth of suede in an everyday bag for autumn and winter. If you prefer smooth leather that shrugs off rain, see our women's leather crossbody bags. 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.
