How Synthetic Leather Is Made: Materials & Manufacturing Guide
Synthetic leather has become one of the most widely used materials in modern fashion, automotive interiors, luggage, upholstery, and accessories. Yet most people—even professional buyers—have only a partial understanding of how it is made.

Whether you are developing bags, wallets, belts, or accessories for your brand, knowing exactly how synthetic leather is made helps you choose the right material, judge quality standards, and communicate more effectively with your manufacturer.
