The difference between microfiber leather and genuine leather
- Appearance.
The appearance of microfiber leather is close to genuine leather. However, a careful comparison shows that the pores on the leather surface are clearer and the lines are more natural. The microfiber leather has no pores because it is an artificial epidermis. Now the lines are more regular and tidy. And some low-end microfiber skins may have a plastic feel.
- Weight.
The specific gravity of the dermis is generally 0.6. The specific gravity of the microfiber skin is 0.3-0.5. That is to say, the microfiber skin is much lighter than the real leather under the same conditions. For example, a bag of similar size and material can be distinguished in terms of weight.
- Smell.
Since real leather is animal skin, it not only has a peculiar smell but even a little stench. If the formaldehyde and heavy metals exceed the standard during the processing, the dermis often has a pungent odor. The taste of microfiber leather is lighter. However, some low-end microfiber leather may have a strong plastic smell.
