Cost 💵 → PU leather
Fast-fashion loves it. Costs nothing, looks fine for a few months, then cracks and peels.
Durability 💪 → PVC leather
Stiffer than PU, holds shape better, lasts a bit longer. Still plastic at the end of the day.
Feel ⭐→ Microfiber leather
Closest to real leather. Softer, more breathable, and looks decent. Usually the “premium” fake.
👉 Bottom line: PU if you’re broke, PVC if you need tough, microfiber if you want fake that feels real.
