The Acne Studios Camero Suede Crossbody Bag is a large hobo-style shoulder bag crafted from calf suede with a polyurethane (PU) lining, featuring multiple exterior zip pockets, a zipped closure, and an adjustable/removable crossbody strap. It measures 11" (28 cm) high, 16.5" (42 cm) long, and 4.25" (11 cm) wide, and is designed for everyday carry; user reviews indicate it fits laptops and tablets comfortably and is relatively lightweight for its size. Made in Italy, the bag includes a leather handle and a key charm with the engraved Acne Studios logo, though some owners note that the PU lining can pull out when retrieving items and the suede requires careful maintenance.

Product Insights

Rooted in Jonny Johansson's personal Polaroid camera bag, the Camero Suede Crossbody is a lightweight (850g) suede bag that evolves with daily use: its calfsuede develops a unique patina while the slouch softens over time, hugging the body snugly (11cm depth) even under a jacket. Its adjustable strap (42–65 cm) and slim profile enable versatile carry, from a structured camera-bag shape when filled to a collapsed silhouette when empty. The bag's practicality—fitting a 16-inch laptop with stain-resistant ECONYL® recycled nylon lining and undercutting Saint Laurent's suede by 20%—is offset by a tradeoff: the unsewn lining can pull out when retrieving items, and access becomes difficult when under-filled, dividing buyers on its perceived quality. Culturally, as a defining SS25 menswear it-bag recognized by its Swedish key charm, it balances fashion-forward design with functional heft, offering a lighter alternative to Lemaire while demanding careful daily care with a crepe brush and suede protector.

  • Soft lambskin feel of the Camero bag lining after two weeks of use

    Here you go! It feels like very very soft lambskin if you're wondering. I've been using it for about 2 weeks and so far it's held up well. Only time will tell 🫣

  • Comparison of Camero bag weight with Lemaire bags and laptop use

    I told myself I would just go and try it and end up buying it… I tried two Lemaire bags before this and while they are equally aesthetic, they are much heavier than this despite being smaller! Even when I put my MacBook Pro in it, the weight is still bearable for me! That being said, I’m used to carrying my laptop in an XL Loewe puzzle tote.

  • Positive experience with PU lining durability and practicality

    I tried to stop loving it when I found out about the pu lining but my spouse correctly realized I was still fixated and got me one for Christmas. The lining is so soft and realistic that I had to double-check to be sure it wasn't lambskin. Durability has been fine and honestly have come to appreciate that spills (and general filth) aren't going to permeate the leather. Sorry to report she's otherwise kind of perfect. Not too heavy, details are flawless.

  • PU lining seen as a possible advantage for spill-prone users

    yes, i am wondering the same. initially it sounds gross BUT honestly, if it’s well done, it could be a positive thing for me as i am known for spilling allllll kinds of shit in my handbags. i have ruined suede linings, cloth linings….
