Soft and pleasant to the touch, suede requires special care and attention to maintain its texture and natural sheen. Discover our tips and care advice to help preserve the beauty of your suede garments and extend their lifespan, season after season.
How to protect
your suede garment?
Before wearing them, it’s essential to treat your suede dresses, pants, and jackets with a suitable protective spray to shield them from water, stains, and humidity.
A waterproofing spray specially designed for suede is the ideal solution. Apply it evenly over the entire surface of the garment, following the product’s instructions. It’s best to do this in a well-ventilated area and allow the piece to dry completely before wearing it. This invisible layer will create a barrier against dirt and moisture while preserving the softness and texture of your suede item.
How to remove a stain
from suede?
If a stain appears, it’s important to treat it promptly. A suede eraser is your best ally for removing small marks without damaging the delicate texture. Gently rub the affected area using light circular motions, making sure not to apply too much pressure.
Avoid using harsh chemical products at all costs, as they could cause lasting damage to the material.
If the stain remains despite using the eraser, it’s best to entrust your suede garment to a professional. They’ll be able to apply a deep treatment to remove stubborn marks without risking damage to the material.
How to care
for and maintain your suede piece?
Suede has the unique ability to maintain a soft, velvety touch. If you notice it becoming rough, you can use a soft-bristle suede brush to restore its smooth appearance. Brush in the direction of the grain, using light and consistent motions, to bring your suede dresses, jackets, and pants back to their original look. This also helps realign the fibers and prevents the formation of unwanted marks or wrinkles.
Storing your suede items is just as important as cleaning them. When not in use, store them in a dry place, away from humidity, sunlight, and heat sources. For suede jackets, use suitable hangers to maintain their shape and prevent any deformation.
Avoid certain situations
Suede, while durable, remains a delicate material. Certain situations can cause irreversible damage. Here are some precautions to take:
- Contact with water can alter the texture of suede and leave marks. In case of rain, opt for waterproof protection for your garments.
- Suede can dry out due to intense heat, which may result in a loss of flexibility and softness.
- If you need to wear suede in humid conditions, make sure to protect it with a waterproofing spray to ensure its longevity.
Suede care is essential to preserve the beauty and durability of your pieces. By following these care tips, you'll be able to enjoy your suede garments for many years. With a little attention and care, this noble material will remain as chic and timeless as ever, becoming a lasting staple in your wardrobe.
