It's hard to find a fabric that's inexpensive, tailors well, wears well and can be cleaned with a wet cloth with mild soap. Faux suede is all of these things and can be used on traditional and modern pieces alike.

Faux suede is becoming all the rage. It looks and feels like suede, but it's 100 percent polyester. Mitchell Gold explains this synthetic fabric that designers are using to give furniture a new look:- Faux suede is inexpensive (about 1/6 the price of real suede), easy to clean (you can wash it yourself) and it comes in a wide range of colors so you're sure to find one that's perfect for your home.
- Faux suede will keep its color. You should never put any fabric in direct sunlight, but even if this material is in direct sunlight, it will hold its color. It also won't crock, which means the color won't rub off if you sit against it with wet clothing.
