Behind the material
Built on Natural Texture
Suede is a type of leather made from the underside of animal hide. It is valued for its soft, velvety texture and flexible feel, making it comfortable to wear while remaining durable.
The quality of suede depends on the hide selection and how it is processed, not on branding or decorative finishes. When treated correctly, suede offers a refined look that wears in naturally over time.

Where the Cost Really Comes From
Suede pricing often increases due to heavy branding, limited collections, or decorative treatments that do not improve durability or comfort.
By working with established tanneries and focusing on clean, standard suede finishes, we avoid inflated costs linked to exclusivity or unnecessary processing. This allows us to offer well-made suede without paying for added layers that do not improve wear.
The result is suede that feels natural, looks balanced, and remains accessible in price.

Texture, Priced Honestly
We choose suede for its softness, flexibility, and understated appearance. By keeping sourcing straightforward and design focused on wearability, the final price reflects the material itself rather than perception.
What you pay for is natural texture, comfort, and durability. Nothing more.
