Faux Suede Fabric

Q: Does Faux Suede look realistic?

Yes. Faux suede is a tough, durable, and stain-resistant vegan fabric made completely of polyester microfiber. It has a similar appearance and feel to authentic suede but is significantly less expensive.

Q: How do you protect faux suede?

To protect faux suede against stains and water, invest in a silicone-based waterproof spray. Be sure to apply it liberally before using the piece of furniture, clothing, or shoes for the first time.

Q: Is faux suede stain resistant?

Yes. Suede is more stain-resistant than faux suede and it is also easier to clean. This makes it an excellent fabric for upholstering, apparel, and footwear. Our own faux suede is treated with a fluorocarbon finish to enhance the fabric's stain resistant and water resistant properties.

Q: Is faux suede waterproof?

Faux suede is composed of synthetic materials such as polyurethane, polyester, and polyvinyl, which do not absorb water since they are synthetic and non-porous. For added protection, our own faux suede is treated with a second layer of water and stain resistant (fluorocarbon) coating.

Q: What is suede made from?

Suede is traditionally manufactured from leather skins. The upper grain of the leather is eliminated, leaving just the fuzzy, napped underside. This production method results in a softer and more malleable leather. Real suede leather is used for furniture upholstery, but it is significantly more costly than synthetic suede and is prone to water and stain damage. Faux suede, on the other hand, is a synthetic fabric resembling suede, typically made from polyester.

Our exquisite faux suede fabric collection is available in a number of colourways, ranging from natural to bold and vivid hues. These simple yet gorgeous fabrics offer flame retardancy, stain protective finishes, and excellent durability. This makes them perfect for both commercial and home interior upholstery.
