🌰What products use PVC leather?
Bags, wallets, sofas, car seats (many “leather sofas” with smooth surfaces are PVC leather)
Sports shoe surfaces, mobile phone cases (wear-resistant areas)
Plastic book covers for student textbooks (essentially PVC leather)
💡 Tips:
When buying “leather products”, want to know if it is PVC leather?
👉 Touch: The surface is smooth like plastic, and the texture is very regular (genuine leather has irregular texture).
👉 Press: It rebounds slowly after pressing, and there is no wrinkle feeling of genuine leather.
👉 Smell: There is a faint smell of plastic (genuine leather smells like animal skin).
❓ Why do companies love to use PVC leather?
Very low cost (genuine leather may cost tens or hundreds of dollars, while PVC leather can be made for a few to a dozen dollars)
Colors and patterns can be printed at will (if you want a rainbow pattern, we can make it)
Fast production (factories can produce thousands of meters a day, while genuine leather requires raising and slaughtering cows…)
⚠️ Note: What is the difference between it and PU leather?
PVC leather ≈ pure plastic leather (harder and cheaper)
PU leather ≈ rubber mixed into plastic (softer, more breathable, a little more expensive)
