Due to the size of hide, you will have more seams with natural leather. Faux will cover larger areas with fewer seams. It’s also easier to clean and UV fade resistant. Faux requires no maintanance, but does not develop the same luster and patina as real leather. Natural leather is also more breathable.

There are so many new options and applications for leather today. Upholstery, walls, rugs, even flooring…
