Suede Fabric

Suede fabric, known in Arabic as qamash jild maqlub (split leather fabric), is a versatile and popular choice for upholstery and fashion applications. This soft, napped finish fabric provides the elegant look of genuine suede at a more accessible price point and with greater durability.

What is suede fabric?

Suede fabric is made by splitting the hide of leather to create a soft napped surface, or by using synthetic microfibers to replicate the look and feel of genuine suede. The result is a fabric with a distinctive velvety texture that feels luxurious and looks elegant. Synthetic suede, also known as microsuede, offers all the visual appeal of genuine suede with improved resistance to staining and wear.

Uses of suede fabric in upholstery

Suede fabric is widely used for upholstering sofas, armchairs, and ottomans. Its soft texture adds warmth and comfort to any seating piece. In Egypt, suede-style fabrics are popular for covering classic and contemporary furniture pieces alike. The fabric drapes beautifully and creates clean, sharp lines when used for cushion covers and upholstered panels.
