Ultra Suede Brand Ladies 2PC Luxury Skirt-Blazer Set

2PC Ultra Suede Skirt Set Teal w/Accented Gold Buttons. The world’s first ultra-fine microfiber was invented in the early ‘70s by a scientist at Toray, in Japan. Shortly thereafter, it was branded Ultrasuede, brought to the U.S., and sold through a mill called Springs Industries. It was launched in the fashion industry by American designer Halston, who made a shirtdress using Ultrasuede that would become famous. It was the first high-fashion designer garment that could be machine-washed and dried. That suit is still considered to be a prized find in vintage fashion stores! Toray could not produce Ultrasuede yardage fast enough. Shortly thereafter, the furniture weight was developed and it quickly became sought after as a replacement to real suede, and as an alternative to natural leather covers for upholstered furniture. Furniture designers from the period like Vladimir Kagan loved using Ultrasuede. Kagan created his iconic “tight-construction” modern upholstery designs based on fabric’s ability to stretch just enough without sagging. The fabric was also an anomaly since it was durable, cleanable, breathable - and luxurious. The innovation used to produce the ultra-fine fiber to make Ultrasuede fabric remains unduplicated today. With over 95 solid colors, Ultrasuede remains a popular fabric in fashion, interiors, and many other industries.
