We’ve added Renapur Suede & Fabric Protector to our care lineup to help you confidently enjoy your suede pieces from day one.

Suede is beautifully soft and richly dyed — but because it’s more absorbent than smooth leather, it can be more prone to color transfer, especially with friction or humidity. This spray helps create a breathable, invisible barrier that minimizes the risk of color transfer to/from clothing or yarn, while also protecting against moisture and everyday stains.

We use and trust this formula ourselves. In fact, we apply a protective coat to all of our suede items before they leave our workshop. For maximum protection, we still recommend reapplying before regular use.

Thoughtfully formulated and thoroughly tested, Renapur Suede & Fabric Protector works on suede, nubuck, sheepskin, canvas, and other absorbent materials. It repels liquids, mud, and oil without altering the colour, softness, or texture of the material — no stiff finish, no shine, just protection that preserves the natural character of suede.

Renapur is eco-friendly and free from harsh solvents, aerosols, or aggressive chemicals, and meets OEKO-TEX® standards for added peace of mind.

Why we love it:

• Helps reduce color transfer from richly dyed suede
• Protects against water, oil, and everyday stains
• Invisible finish — won’t affect colour or feel
• Eco-conscious, non-toxic formula
• Easy spray application with long-lasting results
• Works on suede and other absorbent materials

How to use:

1. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or residue.
2. Spray evenly until the surface feels lightly damp.
3. Allow to dry completely.
4. Full protection develops after 24 hours and lasts up to a year (less with friction, frequent wear and exposure to moisture).

Tip: Always test on a small, hidden area before full application.

A small step that makes a meaningful difference — protect the pieces you love, and enjoy your suede accessories with confidence.
