Soft Spot: Wild leather bags are our most stylish weakness in spring 2025

There are trends that come and go - and then there are suede bags. Already in the 70s, style icons like Jane Birkin and Ali MacGraw carried their casual fringe bags for the Boho Maxi Kleid, in the 90s minimalist hobo bags made of wild leather gave the Grunge-Chic a noble note, and in the early 2000s we could hardly choose between Slouchy Baguette bags and oversized Suede. Sulered leather has always stood for a successful mix of nonchalance and luxury: onethat is neither too stiff nor too playful, but just perfect.

That is exactly why it is back now: in new shapes, exciting colors and with a modern twist. Labels such as Miu Miu, Chloé and Stella McCartney rely on gently velor leather this season, which immediately gives every outfit a luxurious but relaxed touch. Whether as a bucket bag, mini clutch or spacious oversize death-suede pockets prove that you not only experience a comeback, but are actually a timeless essential. But how do you style them in 2025 without the look after looking for retro revival? And which models are really worth it? Time to take a closer look at the trend of the hour.

Soda leather is not just a material - it is an attitude and a subtle aesthetics that combines elegance with a pinch of nonchalance. While the pocket trends have structured leather and canvas bags in recent years, in 2025 softly conquered fashion models. The new designs are more versatile than ever and play with color, shape and functionality.

With cargo bags made of light gray suede with pockets and golden buckle that functionality and luxury does not have to be contrasts. Miu Miu, in turn, brings a touch of retro romance into play: the green hobo bags with a stabbed feel seem modern, but with a subtle nostalgia that is reminiscent of the early 2000s. And for everyone who wants a bag that fits both jeans and the elegant trench coat, there is also a cognac-colored handle bag with a noble metal buckle at Miu Miu, which scores with classic sophistication.

But the list of must-have-winged pockets does not end here: Lié Studio relies on elegant everyday shoppers, which with their simple but noble silhouette offer a stylish alternative to classic deaths. These models are ideal for everyone who loves a relaxed, yet cultivated look-a bag that fits the business meeting as well as the spontaneous weekend trip. And then there would be Khaite, who, with beige clutches made of butter -soft suede, show that minimalism has to be anything but boring. Such a clutch gives every outfit a glamorous note without being intrusive: the perfect companion for dinner dates and special occasions.

As seductively as suede pockets are - they have the reputation of being divine care cases. But don't worry: Who knows what is important can easily keep your favorite bag in the best form for years. The top priority? Impregnate, impregnate, impregnate! A high-quality suede spray protects theWith moisture, stains and street dirt. Applied once a week, the material remains supple and retains its noble look. And should a small accident happen, be it a drop of coffee or an unwanted make-up stain, a suede brush with rubber bristles helps to gently clean the surface and roughen the material again. A tried and tested trick: Simply a clean microfiber cloth slightly with clear vinegar and rub gently over the affected area - this often works wonders.

And what about the right storage? The following applies here: Light protection is luxury protection! Soda leather tends to bleach in direct sunlight, so the bag should not simply be open on the shelf. Better: Store in a dust bag and stuff it with tissue paper so that it retains its shape. In short: suede pockets may not be the most easy to care for accessories, but with the right tricks they stay as flawless and beautiful as on the first day.
