Leather vs. Leatherette


Leatherette

Leatherette is a synthetic material made from vinyl or some type of plastic. You may also hear leatherette referred to as faux leather, fake leather, synthetic leather or pleather. While leatherette contains no animal by-products, it's made specifically to mimic the look and feel of real leather.

The Leatherette that TrophyCentral uses, is a laserable material which offers the look and feel of genuine leather at a fraction of the price. It is richly textured, synthetic material that is water resistant, easy to clean and durable enough for the rigors of daily use.

The high quality workmanship of each leatherette piece is sure to impress every recipient with its elegant individuality. Laserable leatherette items can be personalized through laser engraving for a sharp contrast.

Leather

Made from animal hides treated with chemicals, leather is a luxurious fabric. In most cases, leather comes from cows, and the manufacturing process involves multiple steps. The quality of the leather depends on the animal type and breed, the climate in which the animal lived, the layer of the hide that is used, and the skill of the workers who perform the processing and tanning.
