Cow suede leather is a type of leather made from the underside of a cowhide, which is the inner, softer side of the hide. The surface of cow suede leather has a soft, napped texture that gives it a unique, velvety feel.

Soft and velvety, thanks to the fine fibers of the hide’s inner layer. Less durable and prone to staining compared to full-grain leather but more resilient than other suede types like lamb suede. More breathable than many other types of leather, making it a good choice for shoes, jackets, and bags. Matte and natural-looking, cow suede leather is often used for a rustic or casual aesthetic.

Cow suede is commonly used in clothing, footwear, bags, and upholstery. It requires regular maintenance to keep it looking fresh and avoid stains or water damage, as it absorbs liquids and dirt more easily than finished leathers. Cow suede leather is often more affordable than top-grain leather, but it requires a bit more maintenance to preserve its look and feel.
