PU leather ain’t real leather – it’s a cheeky mix of plastic and fabric dressed up to look fancy.
First,they grab a base fabric, usually polyester or cotton, then slap a layer of polyurethane (that’s PU,baby) on top. It’s like painting a fake brick wall – looks real, but you know it’s not.
After that, they press in a leather-like texture using heat and rollers, toss on some color and maybe a protectivecoat, and boom – you’ve got ‘leather’ that never saw a cow. Cheap, easy to clean, and vegan-friendly, but it ain’t gonna age like the real deal.
