Imitation Suede or Faux suede has a luxury too good to be true soft touch, this soft handle is perfect for practical every day use in Furniture and Soft Furnishings. Fake suede is made from 100% polyester

So perfectly likely to have been sublimation printed (or at least the material is capable of being sublimation printed)

AKA suedette, or just "a suede" if being vague and not wanting to let on it isn't "real" suede, as generally suede refers to the feel/weave of the material rather than what the material is

interesting, yes they were that vibrant, which is why i thought wow

Pisquee i thought suede always referred to it being animal skin - but then i know how squeemish some people are lol

Suede /ˈsweɪd/ is a type of leather with a napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, shirts, purses, furniture and other items. The term comes from the French "gants de Suède", which literally means "Swedish gloves".[SUP][

[/SUP]Suede leather is made from the underside of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used. Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded, but, due to the fibre content, have a shaggy nap. Because suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, suede is less durable but softer than standard ("full-grain") leather. Its softness, thinness, and pliability make it suitable for clothing and delicate uses; suede was originally used for women's gloves. Suede leather is also popular in upholstery, shoes, bags, and other accessories, and as a lining for other leather products. Due to its textured nature and open pores, suede may become dirty and absorb liquids quickly.
