Faux leather is a fabric that looks like leather, but is actually made out of other materials. It has a number of advantages: it can be made into any different type of colour or texture, which can be more fashion forward and allow people more freedom when decorating, and it generally costs less. It is also easy to clean, and usually only needs an occasional wipe with a damp cloth, while real leather needs regular conditioning. Additionally, it can be very durable, won't fade as easily in ultra violet (UV) light, and doesn't involve the death of any animals.
Alcantara is a trade name given to a composite material used to cover surfaces and forms in a variety of applications. Its composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane,giving increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of the material is similar to that of suede, and it may be incorrectly identified as such.
Alcantara has applications including furniture, clothing, jewellery, helmets and automotive (such as in seating, dash trimming and headliners in many high-end OEM automotive suppliers). Alcantara is being used currently as a flame retardant driver seat covering material for Formula One race cars.
