microsuede

Faux suede fabric

Microsuede is a synthetic fabric designed to mimic the soft, napped texture of suede leather.

Made from tightly woven polyester microfibers, it offers similar aesthetics at lower cost and with easier care—it's machine washable and more stain-resistant than genuine suede.

Common in upholstery, clothing, and accessories: The couch is microsuede, so spills wipe right off.
