Differences Between Real, Bonded, and Faux
The fundamental difference between the two is that
real leather
is made from animal hides, such as cattle, buffalo or oxen.
Faux leather
is made from a plastic base and is then treated with wax, dye or
polyurethane to create the colour and texture.
When comparing these three different types of leather, it is really
going to come down to personal preference. Real leather is going to be
the best option, as long as you aren’t looking for a vegan product. If
you’re looking for a vegan leather option, PU/faux leather is the best
option because it will last longer than bonded leather. PU leather is
also cheaper than real leather, but it may not last long-term. Bonded
leather is the cheapest of the three options and may be something you
want to avoid if your main concern is durability. If you are shopping
for leather furniture or clothing, make sure you consider the multiple
differences between the different types of leathers. Find out which
qualities of leather are the most important to you.
