I love suede and I’m not sorry.
Nope, never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, suede! Never gonna run around and desert you, either. Suede is my kryponite, my downfall, and I make no apologies for it. People often scoff at me for this- we live in Portland, after all- or shy away from the suede shoes we have in the store, asking my how in the world I can manage to wear suede here. The short answer is, I can’t help it. But really, it’s more. My love of the soft stuff has forced me to evolve. Am i going to wear suede in a snow storm? No.* I do my darndest to wear suede on the dry days, but sometimes, well, it just starts raining. And that’s ok! I have hosed down each and every suede item I own with weather protectant. I spray my suede like it’s my job. I deserve a promotion! You should be doing this too, Portland! We’re gonna be alright!
Other items for suede care include:
- saddle soap
- a suede brush or buffer
- more weather protectant!
Seriously. Take care of your shoes. They’re worth it!
We sell a variety of leather care products that oughta do the job! The one that is good for suede is only $7.
Here’s a few reasons to love suede:
1. Mackenzie Faith by Indigo, 2. Julia by Camper, 3. Desert Boot by Clarks, 4. BV3166 by Biviel. All at Manifesto, all 25% at our boot sale!
A sure sign that you can have nice things if you’re willing to work for them- and have no fear!
Until next time, my suede sweeties.
xoxo|Sally
