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.

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.
