I've got two pairs of the Royale, the 1.0 version and the new 2.0 version. The leather is good, and they are wearing well with heavy wear. They do look chunkier than other sneakers, but I personally like the look.

Svennson classic lows. Really impressed with the quality at under $200.

What are people's de facto suede sneakers nowadays? Looking for a pair with white or maybe gum sole with suede upper. Preferably laced instead of a slip-on. A pair that can blend in the office is a plus but not necessary.

What I have looked into already:
Buttero
C.QP
CPs
Greats
Sweyd

What were your issues with the CPs and Butteros?

Cannot find a pair of CPs I like.

Nothing wrong with Buttero, just out of my size.

Diemme?

I really like the Venetta Alto. It's a shoe that look way better on the foot than in product shots imo. I have a couple, and a pair of slip-ons, and I like them more than CP's.

These deer grey suede ones are on sale on END along with a good amount of other choices:

For low-tops, they make the Loria low in a bunch of suede options too, but I've never worn a pair so I can't personally recommend them although I bet they're good based on my experience with the brand in general.
