Top layer: faux suede
Faux suede is a material made from polyester and microfiber that is woven into a thin, soft, but very durable plastic fabric.
Plastic materials are more durable than natural suede, which is made from the delicate underside of animal skin and can often tear.
Important! Faux leather mimics the look of real leather, but is much less susceptible to water damage and can be easily cleaned.
Thanks to its ability to repel dirt rather than absorb it, faux leather is especially suitable for garments that are prone to stains. Therefore, it is often used in the production of shoes, jackets and bags.
Faux suede is also significantly cheaper, so it's a great option for saving money..
