Well, it isn't imaginary...
Bonded leather is leather fibers from milled scraps. It is held together by a bonding agent (glue). It is made in a manufacturing process that is similar to paper making.
In many cases (particuarly the UK) this cannot be sold as 'leather' but must be designated as 'bonded leather'
