Purple Suede Bag
A brilliant piece of fashion that has appeared thanks to the retro revival is the purple suede bag. Very rarely are these purses made out of real suede leather. Instead they are made out of materials which are manufactured to look like suede leather. Most people simply associate the the napped finish with suede which is quite easy to pull of with a cloth or synthetic material. Many of these false materials look very good and will be much cheaper than the leather-especially if you buy in purple.
This is one of those things that has come back up in fashion in only some circles and niches and a lot of businesses have never bothered to pick up on it and begin selling purple suede handbags. Let alone some of the other colors which are popular like red and blue. This proves to make finding one of these purses a pretty big challenge. For that very reason I would suggest that if you are having trouble finding one locally to turn to the internet.
Shopping online has a lot of advantages. The main thing, especially in this case, is that stores have the ability to be really niche specific. A lot of stores can do this in big malls in big cities but if you live in a rural area like I do then these stores are out of the question. Online there can be stores dedicated entirely to suede and others dedicated entirely to handbags. These are the kinds of stores that you want to shop at. Other places like amazon and ebay are also really good choices some of the time but you will often find things like “purple suede bean bag” and all kinds of other crazy things mixed in with your search results which can make finding exactly what your looking for a pain.
The other thing about shopping online is that it will be cheaper than the physical stores. If you are lucky enough to have a physical store that deals in things like purple suede bags and other uncommon fashion accessories then this will apply, but in my case its usually just about finding it at all. Like I said earlier, online stores have the ability to be niche specific-most physical stores need a wider appeal to draw in a bigger audience so when they have a item with limited appeal they have to charge more money for it.
When it comes down to actually buying your purple suede bag there are just a few things you need to keep in mind. The biggest one is your budget and how long you want it to hold up. Of course, real suede leather will hold up significantly longer than the cloth ripoffs but you will find it costs more as well. The other thing is the size of the bag. Its usually easiest to just get something similar in size to the purse you already have. This will also give you a benchmark on if you need a bigger or smaller bag then the one you already have.
