What is PU Leather and microfiber leather

PU leather is simply artificial leather.It was created to look and feel like leather but without having to use real animal skin. Usually, these leathers have a glossy surface and an antique look. The microfiber leather is the abbreviation of microfiber PU (polyurethane) synthetic (faux) leather. Microfiber leather fabric is one type of synthetic leather, this material is microfiber non-woven fabric coating with a layer of high performance PU (polyurethane) resins.

What is the difference between PU leather and real leather?

PU leather products are usually at the lower end of the price spectrum.This is because PU leather is easily manufactured compared to genuine leather. While PU leather looks genuine enough at times on the surface, careful examination of the back side can make you see how the “leather” part is just glued on. Genuine leather may not be 100% smooth because animal skin has natural grains and imperfections. PU leather, on the other hand, are smooth to the touch because they are manufactured that way.

This smell eventually goes away but there is no mistaking that overpowering scent of polyurethane B: It wears over time. You know how genuine leather gets better over time? It feels softer and looks more comfortable? That’s not the case with PU leather. It will wear, crack and expose the fabric beneath it very quickly, depending on usage. C:PU does not absorb water, but leather does. Splash a few drops of water on it and it should be obvious. D: It looks fake.
