PU leather and vegan leather are similar but not exactly the same. PU leather, made from polyurethane, is a type of synthetic leather that mimics real leather while being more affordable and easier to maintain. Vegan leather, on the other hand, refers to any non-animal-based leather alternative, which can include materials like cork, rubber, or other synthetics, including PU. Therefore, while all PU leather can be considered vegan leather, not all vegan leather is PU leather.

Can a vegan wear leather?

It depends on what kind of vegan you are. There's no law that says that if you are this kind of vegan, you cannot wear leather, or anything like that. If you're the vegan and you are uncomfortable with wearing leather, trust your heart and feelings. Wear substitutes for leather instead.

No, it doesn't. PU leather doesn't act much like leather at all. It does not go more supple over time, and it does not change color or develop a patina(ex: the vachetta on real Louis Vuittons develops this patina, a PU leather counterfeit would not)


What is an alternative to leather but looks the same?

An alternative to leather that resembles its appearance is polyurethane (PU) leather, also known as synthetic leather. PU leather mimics the texture and look of genuine leather while being more affordable and easier to maintain.

I recently bought a Eurotex PU Leather couch. The sellers told me it was not made of cow hide. Looking through wiki it states about a split leather or a composite of leather. Have I been misled?

PU leather is an animal-based leather product that is made of thin sheets of split hide that is laminated on top of a substrate (sort of like a veneer on wood). Technically, what you were told is true, as PU leather is not the full hide, just a thin layer of leather. But it is animal-based.
