What is Asteria Suede?
Asteria Suede has been invented and originally developed by Baudoin & Lange, working together with an artisan tannery. It is a very specific type of suede that combines strength with extraordinary softness and a velvety texture. This is achieved by a tanning process that uses natural oils and plant extracts, followed by a slow drying process in the Mediterranean breeze. The final touch is given by finishing it off by hand brushing. Combining beauty with durability, this suede is strong, resistant to tearing, and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. These unique characteristics enable us to make our Sagan loafers in Asteria Suede without the need for an extra layer of lining, transferring all its qualities into the most surprising experience of lifetime comfort.
Our Asteria Suede is sourced in Europe and only from responsible and sustainable practices. Our tanning processes strictly meet social and environmental standards.
How do you care for Asteria Suede?
Thanks to its unique properties, this suede does not require particular care under normal circumstances. If your Asteria Suede loafers get wet, just allow them to dry at room temperature, well away from any direct heat source. You may insert your shoetrees, or some rolled soft paper to hold the shape better. Do not worry if you also have mud on your loafers; just wait for them to be completely dry, and then you can easily brush off the mud using a rubber brush for suede or any soft brush. Remember to brush gently and always in just one direction, avoiding circular movements.
Why can you wear our Asteria Suede loafers in the rain?
Thanks to the specific oils that we use to tan Asteria Suede and thanks to the distinctive elasticity of the fibres of the suede that we select, you can also wear loafers in Asteria Suede in the rain. Top-quality suede is actually the best choice for the rain because if you follow the care instructions that we have explained above, your shoes will always go back to their original look, and the operations involved are much easier than what is required by full-grain leather.
