Jeanne's fave suede finds, definitely a hot trend for cool weather, all found in shops north of Bloor.
(A) Grab ’n’ go
Poor Little Rich Girl, 2094 Yonge St., $329
“A great little bucket bag to grab when you’re on the fly.”
(B) Mad for moto
Cloakroom, 1177 Yonge St., $165
“This is a nice little jacket in navy Ultrasuede, so it’s not quite as hard-edged as a black one would be.”
(C) Swing dance
TNT, Bayview Village, $495
“Very cool — lots of movement to this. A very ‘superstar’ kind of jacket.”
(D) Detail driven
Wish list YYZ, 629 Mt. Pleasant Rd., $259
“What a beautiful little suede top with a knit back and laser cut design at the bottom.”
(E) Minimalist lean
Chronic Clothing, 1986 Avenue Rd., $189
“Great mocha colour, very simple lines and a belt that goes with it — very Halston.”
(F) Tall order
Clementine’s, 1260 Yonge St., $795
“Suede boots are everywhere — these are Ferragamo! They’ve got a really nice heel.”
(G) Fringe effects
Pink Tartan, 77 Yorkville Ave., $1,295
“This is absolutely stunning for the fall: the fringes add a great touch of boho glamour.”
(H) Button up
Thursdays, 1130 Yonge St., $135
“It’s such a ’70s piece! Put on a pair of opaque tights and boots, and you’re good to go.”

“What a find! I love the colour: Merlot. Great shape that’s elegant as a day bag or in the evening.”
