PU leather is water resistant
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.
genuine leather is better. polyurethane leather (or PU) is not real leather.
Yes
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)
PU Leather is when a Polyurethane sheet is applied to a thin leather back when used in the furniture industry. A leather pattern can be stamped on the PU to make it look and feel like top grain leather. PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride is also manufactured in a similar manner but is normally placed on a cotton or polyester backing. Pattern can also be applied to the surface. PVC can be a more durable surface than PU, but does not feel like leather. Also referred to as Vinyl covering for Furniture use.
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.
The scientific name for artificial leather is polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) leather.

Leather So Soft was created in 2006.
Soft leather is often referred to as "nappa leather" or "nubuck leather." Nappa leather is smooth and supple, while nubuck leather has a soft, velvety texture. Both types of leather are known for their comfort and luxurious feel.
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. Another option is mushroom leather, made from mycelium, which offers a similar aesthetic and is environmentally friendly. Both alternatives provide a stylish look without the ethical concerns associated with animal leather.
