Suede is tougher than you think.A brush, an eraser, and the one rule about rain.

Suede has a reputation for being delicate, which mostly comes from people who have never owned a brush. It is leather turned inside out. It takes scuffs that would scar a polished shoe and gives them back with thirty seconds of attention.

Brush it after wear, in one direction, with a suede brush. The nap lifts, the dust goes, and most marks go with it.

For a shiny spot or a scuff, a suede eraser, the gray rubber kind, rubbed like a pencil eraser. Then brush again.

Rain is fine. Soaked is not. If it gets properly wet, stuff it with paper, let it dry away from heat, and brush when dry. Do not put it near a radiator; that is what ruins suede, not water.

Our suedes are water-resistant to begin with, which buys you the walk from the car. For the rest, see above.
