CLICKER’S NOTES - KUDU SUEDE & LEATHER
Kudu suedes and leathers are used by the world's best footwear brands. It has a soft, luxurious look and feel, yet is also known for its strength and durability. Kudu leather carries a distinctive, pronounced grain that can merge with natural marks and scars picked up when roaming the wild plains of Africa, whilst kudu suede is extremely soft and smooth to the touch with an overall delicate feel. However, don't let this put you off as kudu suede and leather contains extremely strong fibres that make it tough, flexible and resilient - as well as looking and feeling great. Sourced directly from the CF Stead Tannery in Leeds, England, kudu suede and leather are used across all Crown Northampton footwear collections due to its versatility, premium quality, and wearability.
