Your every-day-carry deserves no less luxury, and the benefits of natural materials don’t stop at clothing. A suede tote, like this one from Khaite, has a tactile softness in appearance which has the habit of getting better with use - just as well, as the adaptability of this bag will have you reaching for it day after day.
