Not only the desire to save as many lives of animals as possible, from whose skins leather products are made, but also the better consumer qualities of synthetic materials force people to choose artificial fur and leather. Thus, suede, the skin of cattle and small cattle that has undergone complex processing, is considered one of the most beautiful natural materials used for sewing outerwear, shoes and accessories.
Real leather with a velvety surface is very expensive, has poor stretch and is susceptible to contact with moisture. High-quality synthetic material is more elastic and does not deteriorate from water, which is appreciated by most fashion designers and tailors, who have recently increasingly been sewing dresses, bags and outerwear from beautiful, practical faux suede.
