How to care for suede

Washing

• Do not wash. Brush gently in one direction with a suede brush.
• For marks, use a suede eraser, then brush.
• Use a suede protector spray before first wear, and every few months.

Drying

• If it gets wet, blot with a cloth, stuff with paper, and let it dry at room temperature.
• Brush once dry to lift the nap.

Ironing

• Do not iron suede.

Storing

• Keep it in a breathable bag, stuffed to hold the shape, away from sun, which fades the colour.

Mistakes to avoid

• Rubbing a stain, which spreads it.
• Drying it on a radiator.
• Using water or regular leather polish.

Always follow the care label on the garment. Blends, dyes and finishes can change what a piece can take, and a lower temperature is always safe. Thraed records the fabric of each piece you scan, so it is in your closet when you need it.
