G Plan Nubuck??
« on: October 14, 2013, 04:34:15 pm »
Just had a lady call to say she has a G Plan Nubuck suite.
She read out her paperwork to me, and it does say Nubuck. I didnt know that GPlan did Nubuck?

If its definatly Nubuck, its not for me, but I was wondering if its Faux Sude?
I will probably be going to see it, but could be a waste of time.

Question is do GPlan do REAL Nubuck??
Thanks

First question I always ask. Have you had the suite from new do you mind if I ask how much it cost if its under 3.5k its normally FAUX.

Unlikely to be leather - suede or Nubuck generally only comes on individual items and not complete suites unless it was custom made. 
The price is always a determining factor and a quick check with a microscope will tell you whether it is or not.
Seems strange that they have called it Nubuck but I don't think this would contravene the usual laws about selling something as leather that isn't.
Hope ths helps
