Brown Leather Bags

Brown leather bags in every shade from caramel to chocolate — crossbody bags, shoulder bags, totes, bucket bags and mini bags, in smooth, pebbled and suede leather.

Shades of brown

Coffee and Brown are the most common shades here: mid-to-deep browns that sit easily with denim, black and camel. Caramel and Cognac are lighter and warmer, with more orange in them; Chocolate and Dark Brown are the deepest. Each product page shows the shade on the bag itself, and the photos in this collection show the brown version of each style.

What is here

Most bags can be worn on the shoulder, and many also come with a strap long enough to wear across the body. There are small and mini crossbody bags, underarm and baguette shapes, bucket bags, top-handle bags, totes and a few backpacks, from about 4 inches wide for the smallest phone bags to about 15 inches for the larger totes. Every product page lists the dimensions, the strap and what fits.

Leathers

Most are cowhide, either smooth or pebbled; a smaller number are lambskin, suede or split leather, and the title says which. Pebbled leather hides scratches well; smooth leather shows more wear but develops more character with handling.

Questions

What is the difference between coffee, caramel and cognac?

Coffee is a mid-to-deep brown. Caramel is lighter and warmer, close to tan. Cognac sits between them with a reddish-orange warmth. The swatches on each product page show the exact shade.

Is brown or black leather more versatile?

Black is the easier match for black and grey outfits and evening wear. Brown works better with denim, camel, olive and cream, and tends to look more relaxed. Many people own one of each; this collection shows the brown version of every style.

Are these bags real leather?

Yes. Every bag in this collection is genuine leather: cowhide, lambskin, suede or split leather. The product title says which leather each bag uses.

Will a brown leather bag change colour?

Smooth leather usually deepens a little with handling and light, and pebbled leather changes less. Keep it out of long direct sunlight and condition it occasionally to keep the colour even.
