Our suede leather cord range covers seven distinct styles, each suited to different design applications:

• Suede Style is the core of our collection and by far our largest range, with over 57 options spanning flat and round profiles in widths from 3mm to 15mm. Flat suede laces are available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm, while round suede cords come in 4mm and 6mm. The soft, fabric-like surface sits comfortably against the skin and works equally well for delicate beaded necklaces, wrap bracelets, and macrame projects.
• Helsinki Style suede cords are a signature flat-braided format featuring a wide, chunky interlocked weave that gives the cord a bold, three-dimensional texture. The broad braid pattern, available in 5mm, creates a visually striking surface that stands out from standard flat or round suede cords. With 30 color options, this is one of the most popular styles in our suede range, equally suited to statement bracelets, chokers, and fashion accessories where the cord itself is the focal point of the design.
• Braided Style suede cords are available in 5mm and 8mm and are especially popular for men's bracelet collections. The braided construction adds texture and structure to the soft suede surface. One of the standout products in this range is a braided suede cord with tassels at the end, widely used for keyrings and bag accessories.
• With Chains features high-quality silver chains stitched along both sides of a 14mm suede cord, creating an immediately edgy, fashion-forward look. This style also comes in reptile prints including snake and lizard print, making it one of the most distinctive products in the range. Ideal for statement wrap bracelets.
• With Rivets features flat suede cords embellished with hollow rivets, adding an industrial, studded edge to the soft suede base. A popular choice for bold cuffs and fashion accessories.
• With Stitches adds visible stitching detail to the suede cord surface, giving a more refined, handcrafted character to the finished piece. Works well in premium jewelry and accessory collections.
• Belt with Tassels is our wider suede format designed for belt production and larger accessory applications, finished with tassel detailing for a free-spirited, bohemian aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is suede leather cord?
Suede leather cord is made from the inner split of animal hide, giving it a soft, napped, velvety surface on the outside rather than the smooth grain of full-grain or top-grain leather. This texture makes it extremely popular in jewelry making, macrame, and fashion accessories.

What types of suede cord do you stock?
We stock flat suede cords (3mm to 15mm), round suede cords (4mm and 6mm), vintage hairy suede round cords, suede with chains (14mm with reptile print options), faux suede cords in 15+ colors, and crystal-embellished suede cords in 3mm.

What is the difference between genuine suede and faux suede cord?
Genuine suede cord is made from real animal hide and offers a superior natural texture, durability, and the character that comes with genuine leather. Faux suede is a synthetic alternative that is cruelty-free, more affordable, and available in a wide color range, making it a practical choice for high-volume production or budget-conscious projects.

What clasps work with suede leather cords?
Round suede cords pair with our magnetic clasps for round leather, end caps for round leather, and related round leather findings. Flat suede cords pair with our magnetic clasps for flat leather and flat leather end caps. We recommend matching the inner diameter of the clasp as closely as possible to your cord size for a secure, professional finish.

Can suede cord be used for macrame?
Yes. Our flat suede laces and round suede cords are both well suited to macrame projects. Their softness and flexibility make them easy to knot and braid, and the wide color range allows you to match any project palette.

Can I mix suede cord with other materials?
Absolutely. Suede cord combines beautifully with round leather, silk cords, and hair-on leather for mixed-material jewelry designs. It also pairs well with natural stones, silver-plated beads, and stainless steel findings.

Are your suede cords ethically sourced?
Yes. Our suede materials are sourced from suppliers who follow sustainable and ethical practices, and our products comply with REACH regulations for European quality and safety standards.

Do you ship suede cords internationally?
