Suede is a type of leather with a smooth , velvety finish. It is made from the split hide of leather, and is more susceptible to water and stain damage than full-grain leather. Many people love suede slippers because of how soft and comfortable they are to wear, as well as how warm and cozy the slippers are in the wintertime. However, at some point, your suede slippers will need to be cleaned. You can easily clean stains from your suede slippers with simple techniques.

Sheepskin: The Natural Choice

                    For centuries, sheep farmers and country folk have known that no natural or man-made fiber possesses the virtues of 100% sheepskin. The unique combination of leather skin on one side and wool fur on the other lends it remarkable properties.

 Cool in Summer and Warm in Winter

                    Sheepskin wool is soft and resilient. Its fibers breathe, acting like a natural thermostat for your body. These hollow fibers can absorb up to 30% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet, keeping you perfectly dry regardless of the weather. The free flow of air between you and the sheepskin fiber is a comforting change from the clamminess of leather and vinyl.

Organic

                    Unlike any other material in the world, sheepskin is a pure organic product. In time, it will return to its constituent elements.

Recycled By-product

                    A sheepskin pelt is only one of the many by-products of the sheep farming industry. This by-product of the food and wool industry is tanned and used in many wonderful ways rather than being discarded. Since sheepskin, like wood, is one of the few raw materials that nature will never exhaust, its value as both a food source and a production material is both aesthetic and ecological.
