Simulated leather and genuine leather are two leather products with completely different materials. They have the following differences and characteristics:
1. Material difference: Simulated leather is Made of synthetic materials, synthetic fibers such as polyurethane or PVC are usually used to simulate the appearance and feel of leather; while genuine leather is processed from animal skin. Common genuine leathers include cowhide, sheepskin, pigskin, etc.
2. Appearance difference: The appearance of simulated leather is usually relatively uniform and has a certain luster, and the pattern and texture are usually artificially imitated; genuine leather has natural texture. and color differences, each piece of leather has unique characteristics.
3. Texture difference: Simulated leather feels smoother and less elastic, and usually does not have the delicacy and softness of genuine leather; genuine leather has a natural texture and softness The longer it is used, the better it feels.
4. Difference in breathability: Genuine leather has good breathability, allowing the skin to breathe; while artificial leather material has poor breathability, which may cause Moist and airtight feeling.
5. Difference in durability: Genuine leather is more durable and durable due to the characteristics of natural materials; simulated leather has relatively weak durability and is easy to wear and fade. .
6. Price difference: Generally speaking, the price of artificial leather is relatively cheap, while the price of genuine leather is usually higher.
By observing the appearance, feel, breathability, durability and other characteristics, you can relatively accurately distinguish between simulated leather and genuine leather. It should be noted that the production process and quality of some imitation leather materials are very close to real leather, which requires careful observation and judgment.
