Madeleine | Suede Glove

Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.

Ethiopian Cabretta Suede is the rarest of leathers — drawn from hair sheep raised in the highlands, where thin air and open pasture produce hides of exceptional fineness. Light yet resilient, its nap is velvety, its grain invisible, its touch unmistakable. A material that bends, never breaks; that remembers the shape of the hand that wears it. In Cabretta Suede, luxury is not loud — it is felt.

Suede doesn’t need to shine to stand out. It’s subtle by nature — soft, matte, and quietly confident. That same softness, though, means it’s more exposed to marks and moisture. It doesn’t resist the world so much as it absorbs it. But with calm, consistent care, suede holds its texture and charm for years. The key is to treat it like something living: never rushed, never rubbed, always coaxed back into form.

Let It Settle

The nap of suede is what gives it that signature feel — and that’s exactly what needs protecting. Avoid moisture whenever possible. When surface marks appear, use a suede brush to gently lift the fibres and even out the texture. Don’t rub or scrub. If the glove gets damp, reshape it gently and allow it to dry at room temperature — never under heat.

Care Method

Brush lightly with a suede brush to lift marks and restore texture. If wet, blot gently with a clean cloth, reshape, and air dry in a shaded, ventilated space. Never expose to direct heat or store compressed.

When Texture Needs Restoring

If the nap becomes flattened or stained, or the glove loses its structure, a professional suede specialist can safely revive the surface without damaging the finish.
