What is suede — really? In this deep dive, I break down what suede actually is, how it’s made, the difference between suede and nubuck, and the wild spectrum of suede quality — from pigskin linings to ultra-luxury baby calf suede. At the end, I’ll show you the best suede I’ve ever seen... on a €1000 bag at The Row store in Paris. Was it worth the hype? You decide. TITLE: What Is Suede Really?

Plus, how double-face shearling keeps the wool for warmth and style. 02:45 – Cowhide and the Splitting Machine How thick cowhides are split into layers — creating the most common type of suede used today. 03:15 – When Leather Turns Trash into Treasure A look at how every part of the hide — even the scraps — are repurposed into leather, gelatin, or collagen. Nothing is wasted. 03:53 – From Split to Suede: The Craft of Finishing How tanneries tan, buff, and refine split layers into high-quality suede with a fine nap. 04:17 – Masters of the Craft Celebrating the tanneries that dedicate decades to perfecting suede — and why specialization matters. 04:28 – The King: Baby Calf Suede How ultra-fine calf suede achieves unmatched softness and shine, sourced as a byproduct of veal production. 04:47 – The Row, Paris: Suede Perfection and Controversy Tanner’s encounter with an exquisite suede bag — and why its simplicity raised red flags about luxury marketing. 05:52 – Why Suede Needs Special Care Understanding suede’s open fibers and porosity — why it absorbs liquids and how expert tanneries fight that with water-resistant treatments. 06:21 – The Delicate Trade-Off Waterproofing sacrifices softness — making fashion-grade suede one of the most delicate leather types. 06:35 – Treat It Like an Exotic Car Suede needs attention and care — not for everyday wear, but for those who respect fine materials. 06:47 – Coming Up Next: How to Clean and Protect Suede A preview of Thursday’s episode featuring a suede care expert. --- SHOP LINK FOR MY BRAND PEGAI (Buy our good-quality finished leather goods): https://www.pegai.com/. - You may also buy them on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PEGAI.
