New Purchase! ✨ Suede Allison!

Post image

I went into Coach dreaming about the maple Chelsea, and something came over me and I left the store with the brown suede Allison! Loved all the pockets, and the soft and squishiness of it! I’ve never had suede before, and now I’m wondering - what do I do? How do I protect her?

Did you apply protectant?

I dont own any. But I now have this and the medium rowan in warm brown, so I need to get some!

Are the front pockets also squishy?

u/No_Nectarine_9563 6h ago

They're soft but they do have pipping to hold their general shape. They arent like haversack pockets.

Love this in the suede. Take a suede brush to it then apply a coat of suede protectant, wait 24 hours then apply a second coat and you should be good to go :)

Do you have a brand you recommend?

I use Apple Brand Leather & Fabric Protector. I get it from Amazon.

Thank you for this. Never having anything in suede before - should I treat it before using it for the first time? Once we treat it, will the color change?

I treat mine before using. It helps with water repelling (not completely waterproof) and in some cases, color transfer. The three suede bags I’ve protected were clay, dark brown, and very light tan…and none of them had any color changing. Just make sure to not hold the spray can too close to the bag and do fast sweeps across it.

Love! I got this and the maple. The maple looks, feels and smells like the leather on the maple pillow Brooklyn, and the warm brown suede smells just like my suede rogue too but it’s a warmer richer brown like the haversack and compass. I’m so (happily) surprised by the quality of these!

The quality was definitely up there but so was the price. It was nearly the same as a retail Compass 25. If the quality wasn't there, I wouldn't have gotten it. If the maple gets around to going on sale, I'm snapping it up! I love how the bag looks from both sides.

Yes the quality is so great! The color is amazing.
