Suede Fabric Overview

Suede is made from muntjac deer hide, which is thicker and denser than sheepskin, making it ideal for producing premium suede leather. This fabric can be natural or synthetic. The focus here is on flame-retardant polyester synthetic suede, which closely resembles natural suede in texture and appearance. After special finishing, it becomes fine, soft, and plush, offering greater durability and easier maintenance. Widely used in fashion, footwear, toys, and furniture, synthetic suede is made from ultra-fine fibers that provide softness, drape, stability, breathability, and resistance to insects and corrosion.

Suede Fabric Categories

Woven suede is divided into warp and weft types. Weft suede features a soft, delicate texture with a width of 150 cm, weighing around 200 grams per square meter. It is ideal for home textiles and footwear, offering strong velvety thickness. Warp suede is commonly used for sofa covers, decorative fabrics, and women's clothing, and can also be used for curtains after printing. These products are mainly exported and widely used.
