Plus Size Suede

While suede is generally a style option I only consider for shoes, every time I see it in a different piece of apparel, I get fascinated by it. It’s so easy to pet, and yet seems kind of  tough. I still mourn for the suede handbag that died under an onslaught of Sambuca. It was like having a green puppy on my shoulder I could pet for comfort whenever I wished. I would get it again in a heartbeat.

Of course, cleaning it takes vigilance. First you brush your hair, and then you brush your outfit…

    A great place for “Washable Suede” is Danier Leather. One of my girlfriends has a few jackets from them and swears by them — they are washable as in machine washable. And they are gorgeous. She is a 14-16 and finds stuff to fit her. Not sure if they offer any other plus sizes at this point but there is no reason we can’t ask for it. At the moment they do not offer online shopping but I saw a note on their site that it is coming soon so that is exciting.
