Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
A general how-to:
Suede is not water proof
Your suede is a delicate work of art and should not be worn during precipitation.
While we do not recommend waterproofing/weather proofing, even treated suede should avoid being soaked.
If you choose to treat your suede, be sure to test on a small piece low visibility garment area to ensure color is not altered. (Use of eco-friendly treatment should be preferred)
Ensure you treat evenly and with care.
If your suede encounters liquid
Remove the suede from any contact with liquid immediately.
Use dry microfiber cloths to dab the liquid until dry. (Do not rub in)
After blotting dry, brush suede with a suede brush and repeat until complete.
You may need to brush and repeat the process a number of times, if your suede becomes stained severely, contact a professional.
Specific stains
Mud stains should be dry before treating with a brush and eraser.
Oil stains can be absorbed through baby powder, allow dry for multiple hours, blot with cloth and brush.
