Answers:
Suede is a type of leather with a napped finish!. However, it can also refer to a similar napped or brushed finish on many kinds of fabrics!. The term comes from the French "gants de Suède", which literally means "gloves of Sweden"!.

Suede leather is made from the under side of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used!. Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded but due to the fiber nature have a shaggy nap!. Because suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, suede is less durable but softer than standard ("full-grain") leather!. Its softness, thinness, and pliability make it suitable for clothing and delicate uses; suede was originally used for women's gloves!. Suede leather is also popular in upholstery, shoes, bags, and other accessories, and as a lining for other leather products!. Due to its textured nature and open pores, suede may become dirty and absorb liquids quickly!. Suede should be cleaned as per manufacturer's directions!.

it's just a different kind of leather; cow's skin!. also important to note that the cows who provide our leather usually come from parts of the world where there are fewer welfare laws, and leather does NOT come from the same animals who provide meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Suede is also made from cows - it is processed differently than leather, maybe a different portion of the cow skin!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's usually made from cow hide!. Pretty much it's leather that has not been sanded or split!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
