Ultrasuede is a synthetic fabric invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto, a scientist working for Toray Industries. It was the world's first ultra-microfiber. Ultrasuede feels like natural suede, but it is resistant to stains and discoloration; it can be machine-washed; and because it is a non-woven fabric, it cannot pull or fray.

The fabric is multifunctional: it can be used in fashion, interior decorating, automotive and other vehicle upholstery, and industrial applications (such as protective fabric for electronic equipment).
