The best thing about suede is that it gets better with age, developing a unique shade, which means vintage shops and resale sites are full of treasures just waiting to be discovered (for example, I have the most beautiful vintage plum and purple suede jacket waiting for me in my eBay cart!). Sure, there are some worries and concerns associated with suede, but all it takes is a little extra care and attention. The most important thing is to prevent dust, dirt, stains and sudden rain showers with a spray suitable for nubuck and suede, and to brush it well. If you buy wisely and take care of your suede, you will be gifted with a piece that will last you a lifetime (and maybe even passed on to the next generation).
