Etymology
The word 'suede' comes from the French term 'gants de Suรจde', which means 'gloves from Sweden'. In the 18th century, the French were particularly noted for their high-quality leather gloves made from the softer leather, and the name stuck. The term later evolved to refer not only to gloves but also to any leather with a similar soft finish. The popularity of suede grew in the 19th century as its use expanded beyond gloves into clothing and accessories. Its unique texture and appearance have made it a favored choice in fashion industries. Suede is distinct from regular leather due to its napped finish achieved by sanding the hide, creating a luxurious feel that has remained popular for centuries.
