Suede Leather Cords for Jewelry Making and Craft
Suede cord is one of the most versatile materials in any jewelry maker's toolkit. Its soft, fabric-like texture sits comfortably against the skin and adds an organic, tactile quality that polished leather and synthetic cords cannot replicate. The material is supple and easy to knot, braid, and layer, making it equally suitable for delicate beaded necklaces, bold wrap bracelets, and macrame projects.
Our suede cords pair naturally with magnetic clasps for round leather, magnetic clasps for flat leather, and our full range of clasps and findings, allowing you to build complete, finished accessories from a single supplier. They also combine beautifully with other cord types for mixed-material designs. Suede works particularly well layered alongside round leather cords, silk cords, and hair-on leather cords, giving designers the flexibility to create layered, textured pieces with real depth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
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.

Round suede cords pair with our magnetic clasps for round leather, end caps for round leather, and related round leather findings.
