Frequently asked questions

  • What is the difference between Faux Leather and Vinyl?

    Faux Leather is a synthetic or artificial leather.  Its known by a few names – faux leather, pleather and vinyl to name a few.


    Faux Leather is a PU material which stands for Polyurethane and doesn’t contain any real leather.


    PU and PVC leathers are different in their make up or structures.


    PU has less material layers which makes it more pliable and with its flexibility makes it easier to work with.


    Faux leather has more of a leather look.  This comes from the Polyurethane coating.  The texture looks and feels like natural leather.


    Faux leather has a fabric material backing, next is the skin layer topped with a coat of polyurethane.


    Vinyl is also classed as a synthetic or artificial leather. It’s known as vinyl or PVC leather.


    Vinyl is a PVC material which stands for Polyvinyl Chloride.


    PVC vinyl also mimics the look of leather. It contains no real animal products.


    PVC contains more layers than PU making it tougher and more durable yet it’s still pliable.


    PVC is made up of a fabric backing, then a layer of foam, a skin layer then there is a plastic based coating.

  • Should I use faux leather or vinyl for my project?

    If you are looking for a realistic leather look, then aim for Faux Leather PU. 


    If your project requires you to use something soft, flexible, and pliable, head to our A4 Faux Leather Panel or our larger Printed Pattern Products.


    If your project setting needs to be durable and there is heavy use, Vinyl leather PVC is the way to go. Vinyl is more suited to but not only upholstery, footwear, outdoor/indoor furnishing, clothing. Check out our Vinyl Range here.


    Bag making uses both Faux and Vinyl Leather. 


    Either Faux or Vinyl leather is a perfect substitute for real leather. It’s cost effective, there is a vast range of colours and styles to choose from.

  • How do I clean my faux leather and vinyl?

    All PVC and PU Synthetic Leather fabrics require care and maintenance.  This helps to prolong the life of the item you have.


    The manufacturer recommends the following cleaning procedure:

    • Remove any loose dirt or soiling with a suitable cloth (e.g. microfibre cloth) or soft bristled brush and lukewarm water.
    • Apply a mild, lukewarm pH neutral soap solution with a sponge or soft bristled brush.
    • Allow the soap to stand briefly, but not to dry.
    • Remove soap residue with microfibre cloth and clean water.
    • Dry thoroughly with dry microfibre cloth.
    • Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or cleaners containing solvents, gasoline, petroleum, or concentrated bleach.  These have the potential to damage the fabric surface.
