While passing the time on a slow-moving subway during my work commute yesterday, I spotted two well-dressed women carrying suede bags in shades of brown. And just a few minutes after arriving at the office, I saw that my colleague had just begun using The Row’s US$4,900 Margaux bag in mocha suede as her latest work bag. It seemed like suede was definitely on my mind that day or… it’s simply everywhere! Later, while scrolling through TikTok, some of my favorite fashion creators were also sharing their top picks for suede bags this fall.

Just in time for the season, the latest brand to launch a suede bag is Taylor Swift’s favourite AUPEN. Coined the Nirvana Suede Chocolate, the bag comes in brown suede lambskin, buttery smooth calfskin braided handle, with gold-tone hardware to match. Having already written about the brand, I couldn’t resist trying this new version after seeing the Nirvana on even more celebrities recently including Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, and more stars.

What impressed me most was how they styled it effortlessly—from casual outings to formal red carpet appearances.

Everything you need to know about the AUPEN Nirvana Suede Chocolate Bag

Among the styles I have explored, the Nirvana Suede Chocolate bag stood out to me due to its quality material and unique silhouette. Beyond looking effortlessly chic on its own, the bag is incredibly versatile when it comes to packing and styling. It comes with a spacious interior that comfortably accommodates essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys tidily. The sumptuous suede texture also adds a touch of elegance, making even the simplest ensembles pop. When it comes to statement pieces at an affordable price, this bag is a treasure worth seeking out—retailing at US$340.

While a crossbody strap would have added extra functionality, the elegant shoulder handle design of this bag allows it to transition seamlessly from day to night. The use of calfskin for AUPEN’s intricately crafted braided handle in contrast to its lambskin suede body distinguishes the Nirvana Suede Chocolate from other bags widely available in the market like The Row’s Margaux; Bags in suede often feature the textile solely throughout the bag.

Ultimately, the AUPEN Nirvana Suede Chocolate bag offers a balance between high fashion and everyday usability. It elevates casual attire while remaining practical for daily errands, embodying the style of ‘quiet luxury’ that looks luxurious and discrete without breaking the bank.

Influencers are already embracing the AUPEN Nirvana Suede Chocolate bag, seamlessly integrating it into their daily wardrobes. From chic brunches to evening events, this bag proves its worth in the world of fashion and stands out as a must-have accessory. For their styling cues, scroll below.
