The following are not "true" leathers, but contain leather material. Depending on jurisdiction, they may still be labeled as "Genuine Leather":
Bonded leather, or "reconstituted leather", is composed of 90% to 100% leather fibers (often scrap from leather tanneries or leather workshops) bonded together with latex binders to create a look and feel similar to that of leather at a fraction of the cost. This bonded leather is not as durable as other leathers and is recommended for use only if the product will be used infrequently. Bonded leather upholstery is a vinyl upholstery that contains about 17% leather fiber in its backing material. The vinyl is stamped to give it a leather-like texture. Bonded leather upholstery is durable and its manufacturing process is more environmentally-friendly than leather production.
Bycast leather is a split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed. Bycast was originally made for the shoe industry and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The original formula created by Bayer was strong but expensive. Most of the bycast used today is a very strong and durable product. The result is a slightly stiffer product that is cheaper than top grain leather but has a much more consistent texture and is easier to clean and maintain.

sekadar ingin berkongsi ilmu aku yg tak seberapa ni, apatah lagi mengambil semangat mak peah, kak temah dan seangkatan dgnnya yg feeling2 mood raya yang bakal menjelma tu, inginla aku ingatkan supaya jgnla korang beli sofa2 yg berangan kulit tapi berstatus 'leather bond' ni yer. sbb pasti korang akan takjub melihat wear & tear effect dia dlm jangka masa yg singkat. (lesson learned - thru experience
()pastikan klu nak jugak pakai sofa kulit, pastikan ia adalah totally kulit asli. yer, harga dia mmg lebih mahal, tapi sgt berbaloi. if not, aku syorkan kita ramai2 pakat pakai sofa fabrik sajork. buleh beli di fella design (*better quality i believe):-?. amikla fabrik yg moden2 patternnya, pasti berseri rumah anda di pagi raya. cheeewahhh!
renung-renungkan, selamat beramallllll
