Suede Leather There is 1 product.
Suede Leather is a kind of soft leather made from the skin of goats and lambs with the flesh surface rubbed into a soft nap. The extraordinary texture of the leather has a special feel. It is waterproof and extremely durable. Traditionally, it was popularly used in the trans-Himalayan region spanning across Asia. Today, it is widely used in fashion accessories such as winter boots, bags and purses, mittens, caps, etc.
Our Nepali suede products are a unique fusion of traditional Nepali embroidery with the skin-processing techniques brought in by the immigrant minorities. Nepal’s religious tradition confined the production of leather to a small sect in the religious hierarchy. Our products are often processed and completed by people of this underprivileged class. The embroidery is done by women and minority immigrants. With the commercialization of suede leather products, a nearly extinct traditional art-form has been revived, and we are working closely with the communities to promote this attractive tradition. A significant portion of proceeds is given back to the community.
