Suede is produced from the underside of animal hide, giving it a soft, velvety surface. It is lighter and more flexible than full-grain leather while retaining many of its durable qualities.

Prada is a Milan-based luxury fashion house led by Miuccia Prada, who transformed the brand into one of the most influential voices in contemporary fashion. It is known for its intellectual approach to design, combining rigorous tailoring, unexpected fabric choices, and a distinctive tension between elegance and unconventional beauty. Often credited with redefining modern luxury, Prada has challenged conventional ideas of beauty through its use of unexpected materials, unconventional casting, and deliberately anti-glamorous aesthetics.
