Frequently Asked Questions

What is suede leather?

Suede is lambskin sanded on its outer face to raise short fibres, creating the characteristic matte velvet surface. The lambskin underneath is the same we use for our nappa pieces; the difference is entirely in surface processing. Hand-stitched in Naples to the same standards as the nappa range.

When should I pick suede over nappa?

Suede when the rest of the outfit is wool, tweed, knitwear, cashmere or anything where smooth nappa would read too sharp. Nappa for evenings, formal occasions and clean tailored looks. Suede for daytime, weekends and softer styling.

How is suede cared for?

Use a soft suede brush to lift the nap and remove dust after each wear. For light marks, a suede eraser or a clean white rubber works well. If they get wet, dab with a clean cloth and air-dry away from heat, then brush the nap back into shape. Never use leather conditioner on suede. Avoid water and aggressive chemicals; if needed, have a leather-care expert treat them.

Is suede water-resistant?

Less than nappa. Suede absorbs water through the raised fibres and can develop watermarks if soaked. Light rain is manageable; heavy rain is best avoided. A specialised suede protector spray applied once a season helps repel moisture.

Is women's suede available in longer versions?

Yes, some models reach mid-length on the forearm. The longer versions are designed for formal looks.

What size should I order?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the knuckles. View the women's size guide for the full method. Suede stretches less than nappa over time; pick your true size rather than going down.

Women's Suede Leather Gloves

Leather in its softest form

Women's suede gloves come from a leather treatment that highlights the outer surface, making it soft and velvety. This texture adds depth to the colour and softens even the most elegant lines, without losing precision or refinement. The base lambskin is the same we use for our nappa pieces; only the surface treatment differs.

Brushed surface, velvety touch: for suede the lambskin is sanded on its outer face to raise the finest fibres. This is the step that creates the typical velvety, matte, slightly textured feel. The direction of the fibres changes the perception of colour and light, a tactile detail you notice when running a finger across.

Lining options: the linings follow the same care as the nappa range. Cashmere is chosen for colder days, with its balance of warmth, lightness and comfort. Silk is ideal for milder climates and for those who prefer a thinner, more elegant profile.

When to choose suede: suede is the right choice when the outfit speaks of wool, tweed, knitwear, cashmere, Holland & Sherry or Vitale Barberis Canonico winter fabrics, or coats with a softer character. It works when smooth nappa would feel too sharp, and when the occasion belongs more to the day than to the evening.

Lengths and silhouettes: some models reach mid-length on the forearm; the longer versions are designed for more formal looks. For shorter, less formal silhouettes the wrist cut remains the most versatile.
