WHAT IS FAUX, VINYL OR  PU LEATHER?

PU leather, or faux leather, is an artificial material used instead of leather upholstery. 

There is an opinion that faux leather can be a convincing substitute for the real thing. But while genuine leather does require maintenance to keep it supple and looking beautiful, this is also its advantage. Over time leather will develop a unique ageing known as patina, becoming more distinguished and beautiful over years of continued use.
Pure PU cannot imitate this natural process, and will not last the same as well-kept leather does. In fact, some faux leather has a comparatively short lifespan next to genuine leather, wearing out and cracking prematurely over time. While it might be vegan, given its shorter lifespan and the fact it is not biodegradable makes it not very environmentally friendly. PU fabrics are generally considered to actually be a far less eco-friendly choice compared to the real thing.

When it’s time to select leather goods for yourself, always be sure to always check the label. You also need to be aware of the type of material the goods are made from.
