Faux leather is a fabric that looks like leather, but is actually made out of other materials. It's commonly used to make a wide range of products, including garments and shoes, furniture and vehicle seats, and electronics accessories. Also known as leatherette, pleather, or NaugahydeÂ®, this material is often cheaper and more versatile than real leather, but may not be as high-quality.
To recognize the differences in faux and real leather, look carefully at the surface of the item. Real leather has a random and original look to it. But since the pore and hide marks imprinted on faux leather are man-made, they appear in a consistent, repeated pattern.
