It may look like suede, it may feel like suede, but Alcantara is actually a synthetic textile made from a blend of polyester and polyurethane. It’s a trademarked, proprietary material (hence why the first letter of word is capitalised) that was developed in the 1970s by a Japanese chemist, and has been manufactured by the Italian company Alcantara ever since.
