F.A.Q.

What puts Ultrasuede® "in a category all its own"?

Unique and proprietary technologies make Ultrasuede® a fabric like no other. These technologies—and only these technologies—ensure unparalleled luxury, appeal, performance and ease of care.

​

So how can I tell if it's genuine Ultrasuede®?

If you can do a direct comparison, you'll see and feel the difference immediately: Ultrasuede® delivers much more luxurious tactile and visual effects. But first look for the Ultrasuede® trademark.

​

What is Ultrasuede® used for?

It would be easier to list the ways Ultrasuede® is not used. Today you'll find Ultrasuede® in shoes, hats, bags, etc. You'll see it on walls, in high-end jewelry display cases and as part of imaginative craft items far too numerous to list here.

​

Why do so many different kinds of designers insist on Ultrasuede®?

Experience has taught them that Ultrasuede® provides unique solutions to the most challenging creative problems. This is because Ultrasuede® ensures an unparalleled combination of luxury, appeal, performance and ease of care.

​

What is the best way to clean Ultrasuede®?

Restore the sensuous nap and soft luster of Ultrasuede® by lightly buffing the surface with a medium-bristle brush. Most spills and stains disappear with a gentle dab of a cloth soaked in lukewarm (about 105° F) water. Tougher stains may require a mild cleaning fluid.

​

Is Ultrasuede® pet-friendly?

The advanced non-woven construction of Ultrasuede® makes it inherently pet-friendly. It resists scratching, there are no threads to pull or fray, and it won’t absorb stray hairs. In the event of pet “accidents,” Ultrasuede® also resists staining and odor absorption. (Determined animals can of course scratch or damage virtually any material. As with any luxury item in a pet environment, supervision is advised.)

​

Will Ultrasuede® affect my allergies?

Ultrasuede® is not a complete barrier like leather and anything smaller than 10 microns will pass through the fiber.
