Before you purchase a black bag, consider this anti-trend color that is far more stylish and enduring.
Purchasing a designer bag is quite a significant endeavor, particularly these days when handbag prices have reached unprecedented levels. Investing in one requires considerable planning and involves numerous factors to contemplate before finalizing the purchase (or entering a boutique for a swipe). Escalating prices may also explain why many are reverting to black handbags. Vibrant colors and materials may not provide the same sense of security that black offers. However, before opting for a black bag simply because it seems obligatory, take into account that there are other timeless color choices available—and some might even be considered more chic and sophisticated. One such contrasting shade is beige—specifically, beige suede. This color has been quietly gaining traction in 2026, surpassing even chocolate brown and burgundy. Much of its increased popularity can be attributed to Matthieu Blazy's Chanel. The designer, who began his role at the French fashion house in October with a landmark spring/summer 2026 collection, has made beige suede one of the year's most desired color-and-material combinations for bags. The latest sightings of this combination have only fueled fashion's growing fascination.
At the onset of the Venice Film Festival, Kendall Jenner was spotted at the airport in a remarkably historic travel outfit, featuring an ivory-colored vintage Prada top-and-pants ensemble from the spring/summer 1998 collection, acquired from the UK-based vintage shop Cheree Cheree, paired with a vintage Cartier Baignoire watch sourced by The Millennial Decorator, a.k.a. Julia Rabinowitz. Yet, those elements might not even be the highlight of her airport look. She completed her outfit with a spacious weekender crafted from luxurious beige suede with black leather accents from Blazy's cruise 26/27 Chanel collection. Immediately, the popular vintage sourcing agency, @sourcewhere, reported a surge in inquiries for the bag.
Kendall Jenner isn't the only one drawn to beige suede bags. Elsa Hosk has also been frequently seen carrying her Chanel Maxi Flap Bag in beige suede, styling the shoulder bag with a range of outfits, from button-down shirts and jeans to white summer dresses and rain boots. Both examples were enhanced by the shade and material of her bag, and while we appreciate a black leather bag, it simply wouldn’t have the same effect as Hosk's beige suede bag. Chanel isn't the sole contributor to this trend, even if Blazy's designs have sparked much of this year's interest. Gucci has also embraced beige suede handbags, with Demi Moore recently sporting the Italian brand's Paparazzo bag in this hue. The Row, Loewe, and Saint Laurent have joined in as well. The only drawback is that, due to the high demand, beige suede bags are disappearing quickly. Continue scrolling to find the ones that are still available for purchase.
