Premium Artificial (Faux) Leather

Hi readers!
We’re introducing some luxe artificial leather in this blog.

Artificial Leather

Artificial leather is made using non-woven fabric as the base material, and it mimics not only the surface but also the structure, functionality, and texture of natural leather. While the production process is more labor-intensive compared to synthetic leather, resulting in a higher cost, it offers the advantage of a texture that rivals genuine leather and excellent product durability.

Synthetic Leather

Synthetic leather is a material created to resemble genuine leather, which is a natural material. It is made by applying synthetic resin onto a base fabric (other than non-woven fabric) to replicate the texture of natural leather, like the grain of genuine leather. The surface is artificially textured to imitate the wrinkles and patterns found in genuine leather.
