Vegan suede" or "ultrasuede" refers to a material that reproduces the effect and properties of suede without using animal matter. It is a high-quality synthetic material that closely resembles the texture and appearance of genuine suede. It is a popular alternative to traditional suede due to its durability, ease of care and eco-friendliness.
"Vegan suede" is mainly made from nylon, polyurethane or recycled polyester.
