All About Suede

Suede is a type of leather that is very soft to the touch so when it is used for shoes, jackets and other accessories, it feels supple and rich against the skin. It is primarily sourced from the backside of the animal, such as a lamb, goat, pig, or deer. We have in our store a variety of suede items from high-end brands, and one unique handmade item.

First, a pair of chartreuse suede mules from Miu-Miu.  Miu-Miu, as you know is made by world-famous designer and tastemaker Miuccia Prada, of the luxurious Prada Label. Miu-Miu is the less expensive of the two luxury brands.
