WTH is alcantara and why do I need inserts made of it?

[Thinjake]

When deciding between mojave and mojave purlux with alcantara inserts, I have no idea what I am choosing between. Help please!

Alcantara is the brand name of a common synthetic textile material. It has a soft, suede-like microfibre pile and is noted for its durability. Alcantara is commonly seen in automotive applications, as a substitute for leather and vinyl in vehicle interior trim

Alcantara is sort of a synthetic suede. And it's found in most expensive cars. Though I've never quite understood why it's considered so hi-end. I don't think it's particularly expensive to manufacture. Nice feel to it, but it's not as if it's real suede.
