Faux leather, also known as synthetic leather or vegan leather, is primarily composed of polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. These synthetic polymers are designed to mimic the look and feel of real leather while being more affordable and often more environmentally friendly. Faux leather can also include a textile backing, such as cotton or polyester, to enhance durability and flexibility. The surface is typically treated to provide water resistance and improve texture.

Eurohide is not considered real leather; rather, it is a type of synthetic leather made from polyurethane (PU) or similar materials. It aims to mimic the appearance and feel of genuine leather while being more affordable and often more environmentally friendly. Unlike real leather, which is made from animal hides, eurohide is designed to provide a leather-like texture without the use of animal products.
