What is suade?

Suede is a type of leather that has been sanded to create a soft, napped finish. It is typically made from the underside of the animal hide, which is tougher and more resilient than the outer layer. Suede is valued for its softness, flexibility, and velvety texture. It is often used in fashion for clothing, shoes, and handbags, as well as for furniture and upholstery. However, suede can be difficult to clean and maintain, as it is easily stained and can also become damaged by water or excessive heat. It is important to regularly care for suede products by brushing them to remove dirt and using protective sprays to prevent damage.
