PU Leather

I'm sick of "PU leather."

For those that want to have real animals' skin PU leather is deceptive.

For those like me who prefer not to have a dead animal's skin on my products PU leather is a PITA that makes searching for products without leather difficult.

Why can't they all just call it "pleather" like some do?

  • Or just call it polyurethane…ha ha…love your soapbox moment btw :)

  • Try searching like this:
    phone case leather -"pu leather"

    It should show leather phone cases, and remove the results that say "pu leather"

    • That's the problem. I want PU. I don't want leather. So many products advertise as leather when they are actually not - they are PU. That restricts my search even though there is a high chance the leather product is not actually leather.

      Now I'm confused. That's my point.

      • You realise PU leather also contains leather, though covered in PU? So if you were feeling sorry for cows, don't buy either.

        • I didn't know that. Thought pu leather was polyurethane made to look like leather, no dead animal at all.

        • Look up bicast leather on Wikipedia.

    Leather = PETA
    PU Leather = PITA
