Shanghai MAC Corporation is a leading Faux Suede Fabric manufacturer and supplier.


Faux suede fabric, also known as microsuede or imitation suede, is a synthetic textile engineered to replicate the soft hand-feel, nap texture, and visual appearance of genuine suede leather. It is produced from ultra-fine synthetic fibers—typically microfiber polyester—through advanced warp-knitting or non-woven processes, followed by specialized dyeing and finishing treatments that create a dense, short-pile surface.


This fabric is widely used across multiple industries due to its balanced performance properties. In the apparel sector, it is used for jackets, trousers, skirts, dresses, and coats, offering a luxurious look without the weight and cost of real leather. In home furnishings, it serves as upholstery for sofas and chairs, as well as curtains, bedding, and decorative cushions. The automotive industry utilizes faux suede for seat covers, headliners, and interior trim panels, where durability and stain resistance are critical. Additionally, it is a preferred material for bags, footwear, gloves, and electronic device packaging.


The primary challenges that faux suede addresses include the high cost and maintenance difficulties of genuine suede, as well as ethical and environmental concerns associated with animal-derived leathers. Faux suede offers a durable, washable, and stain-resistant alternative that does not sag, stretch, pill, or show scratch marks under normal use. It provides excellent colorfastness, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications.

Standard Packaging

Each roll of faux suede fabric is wound on a sturdy cardboard core and wrapped with a protective PE film to guard against dust and moisture. Rolls are then packed in reinforced export cartons or woven bags, with edge protectors applied to prevent creasing and abrasion during transit. For larger orders, multiple cartons are securely strapped onto fumigated wooden pallets, ready for container loading.

We support FCL and LCL sea freight, air freight, and express delivery, depending on order quantity and destination. Available trade terms include EXW, FOB, CIF, and others upon request. Shipping costs are calculated based on cargo volume, gross weight, destination, and selected transportation method.

Q: What is the difference between faux suede and genuine suede?

Faux suede is a synthetic fabric made from polyester or microfiber, while genuine suede is made from the underside of animal hide. Faux suede is more affordable, easier to clean, and does not stain or scratch as easily as genuine suede. It is also a cruelty-free and more sustainable alternative.

 

Q: How long does sample preparation take? What information do you need for a custom quotation?

Sample preparation typically takes 3–7 working days for stock colors. For a custom quotation, we need the following information: target weight (gsm), width, color (Pantone code preferred), quantity, backing requirement (if any), and destination port. Custom color matching may add 5–10 days.

 

Q: What is the MOQ and production lead time?

Minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 500 meters per color for standard specifications. Production lead time is 15–25 working days for standard orders and 25–40 working days for custom specifications.

 

Q: What factors should I consider when choosing faux suede for upholstery?

For upholstery applications, consider the fabric weight (heavier = more durable), abrasion resistance (Martindale cycles), stain repellency, and lightfastness if the furniture will be exposed to sunlight. We recommend medium-weight (200–250 gsm) or heavyweight (250–280 gsm) grades with PU backing for enhanced durability and shape retention.

 

Q: What quality standards and certifications does the product meet?

Our faux suede fabrics are manufactured in compliance with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Class I or II), REACH, and RoHS regulations. They also meet automotive flammability standards (MVSS302) and various international textile testing standards (ISO, AATCC, DIN). Certificates can be provided upon request.

 

Q: Can faux suede be washed or dry-cleaned?

Most polyester faux suede fabrics are machine-washable on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Tumble dry at low temperature or air-dry. For PU-coated or specialty variants, dry-cleaning is recommended. Always refer to the specific care label provided with each shipment.
