Pangea notes on Linkedin a great article by Leather Naturally that shows how to spot the differences between Genuine Leather and “synthetic” imitators.
Plastic Feel & Smell vs. Renewable Look & Aroma – How to tell the difference?
Synthetic ‘leather’ is usually made with synthetic landfill components like PU, and PV to have the same appearance as real leather. Sometimes these materials are labeled ‘Vegan Leather’ because they are not derived from animals. Real leather is a by-product of the meat industry. It is a natural, renewable material upcycled from the hides, reducing meats overall landfill waste. If you are looking for more sustainable materials – here are some ways you can tell the difference.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
