Here are some points by which we can differentiate between real leather and synthetic leather.

Real Leather is made from animal hides, such as cattle, buffalo, or oxen whereas synthetic leather is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU),  which are plastic-based materials.

 

2  When we touch leather, we feel soft. It is smooth and flexible. Synthetic products are a little harder and have a plastic feeling.

 

3 We can recognize leather at first glance by texture and the pores.

 

4  The most well-known factor is price. Original leather products are more expensive as compare to artificial leather products.

 

5  By burning a small piece of leather, through smell, we can find out real one.
