The Battle of Western Icons

THE BATTLE OF WESTERN ICONS

When it comes to western fashion, two materials rule the frontier — suede and leather. Both have earned their place in the saddle, starring in everything from Yellowstone to Thelma & Louise. One is rough and ready. The other, soft but bold. But when you're heading out into the wild, wild west (or just the weekend), which bag do you throw over your shoulder?

suede vs leather bags.

LEATHER BAGS: THE GRIT BEHIND THE GLAMOUR

There’s a reason leather has long been the material of choice for cowboys, outlaws, and rodeo queens.From John Wayne to Rip Wheeler, leather has always been the uniform of the fearless.

• Tough as the Trail: Full-grain leather can handle just about anything, rain, dust, or a bumpy ride in the back of a Bronco.

• Age Equals Swagger: Like a pair of well-worn boots, a leather bag only gets better with time. Scratches become stories, and every mark adds to its character.

• Old West Approved: Leather is the go-to if you want something that could hang on the shoulder of June Carter Cash or make an entrance at the Grand Ole Opry.

SUEDE BAGS: WILD AT HEART

Suede isn’t just a fabric, it’s a feeling. It’s Stevie Nicks in fringe, Daisy Jones on tour, walking into a saloon with a little sway and a lot of soul.

• Touchably Western: With its soft texture and velvety finish, suede adds a layer of luxe to your look without losing that western edge.

• Boho with Backbone: From Coachella cowgirls to vintage rodeo queens, suede has always been the unofficial uniform of desert rebels.

• Movement Matters: Suede loves fringe, and nothing says Western glam like a swaying suede fringe bag under neon lights or prairie skies.

Just keep suede safe from rain and rough weather. With a little love, it will ride with you for years.
