Bonded leather is a material made from a blend of leather scraps and synthetic fibers. These scraps are bonded together using adhesives and then coated with a layer of polyurethane to create a smooth surface. This process allows for a more affordable alternative to genuine leather while still providing a leather-like appearance. While bonded leather is often used in products like furniture, wallets, and book covers, it is generally less durable than full-grain leather. Over time, it may wear down or peel, especially with heavy use. However, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a budget-friendly option that mimics the look of real leather.
