What exactly is PU leather? The Complete Leather Grow Handbook

PU Leather – Sustainability and ethical sourcing are not options but requirements in today’s fashion culture. PU leather—short for polyurethane leather—has become a significant option as consumers look for environmentally friendly and cruelty-free substitutes to conventional materials. What is PU leather, and how does it compare to genuine leather?

The Leather Grow’s comprehensive guide delves into PU leather, highlighting its unique benefits and drawbacks, its production process, and the ethical considerations that make it a standout choice. We’ll also showcase how our carefully selected PU leather goods allow you to maintain your style without compromising your principles.

Exactly, what is PU leather?

A synthetic substance meant to imitate the look and feel of genuine leather, PU leather is created by coating a base fabric—typically cotton or polyester—with a polyurethane coating. Popular among those who seek fashion without animal products, this produces a leather-like finish that is entirely vegan.

The fashion business, interior design, and even automotive upholstery often use PU leather. Using premium PU leather that satisfies our ethical manufacturing criteria, The Leather Grow provides the look and lifetime you anticipate from top-tier apparel.

A Short History of PU Leather

Late in the 1930s, German chemist Otto Bayer created PU leather for industrial uses. PU leather started to appear in fashion in the 1960s as designers sought affordable, flexible materials. Its popularity increased in the 1980s when PU leather became well-known for its fashionable look and animal-friendly composition.

PU leather is making a comeback, driven by the growing focus on ethical and environmental issues. As part of The Leather Grow’s product line, our PU leather is designed for the discerning consumer who values both substance and style.

The Making of PU Leather

Making PU leather is a deliberate process combining design with endurance. The method is as follows:

Choosing the Base Fabric
A strong foundation of polyester or cotton offers structure and adaptability.

Coating with Polyurethane
Coating the basis with polyurethane makes PU leather smooth, glossy, or matte.

Curing Procedure
The coating is cured by heat or UV radiation, sealing for long-lasting wear and flexibility.

Texturing and Finishing
The embossed leather’s look and feel are simulated by applying colors or finishes.

The Leather Grow exclusively selects premium-grade PU leather that satisfies our criteria, hence producing items that seem and look beautiful.

Issues with PU Leather

Although PU leather has many benefits, it is essential to know its drawbacks:

• While high-quality PU leather is durable and long-lasting, it may not develop the same patina as full-grain leather. However, its resilience ensures that it will serve you well over time.
• It’s important to note that PU leather, especially in hot areas, may be less breathable than genuine leather. However, our PU leather is designed with your comfort in mind, ensuring a pleasant wearing experience.
• Although some PU leather manufacturing uses chemicals, The Leather Grow sources PU leather from partners employing low-emission, cleaner techniques.
