— synthetic material that mimics the look and texture of genuine leather. The degree of imitation in this case can be different and, usually, depends on the price of a particular leather substitute: the most expensive options can be practically indistinguishable from leather. The advantages of all leather substitutes are low cost and undemanding care. On the other hand, they are less durable than leather, are sensitive to temperature changes, wear out faster and are generally less durable.
