In terms of raw materials, artificial leather is an artificial synthetic product. Its core components are resin materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU), which are then combined with base fabrics, artificial agents, plasticizers and other auxiliary agents through specific processes to form a unique artificial structure. On the other hand, natural leather is based on animal skins, such as cowhide and sheepskin, and it needs to go through a series of complex and meticulous processes such as dehairing, tanning and dyeing to become a finished product.

The appearance is obviously different. The texture of artificial leather is regular and neat, and although it can simulate the pattern style of natural leather in production, it lacks the natural dynamic changes as a whole, and looks somewhat rigid. In contrast, natural leather has a unique texture on each piece, and there will be natural marks such as mosquito bites and growth scars on the surface, which fully reflects the true beauty of nature.

In terms of performance, artificial leather has good water resistance, relatively affordable price, simple daily maintenance, and convenient processing, which can meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. However, its breathability is not good, and its durability is limited, and it is prone to wear and cracks over long-term use. Natural leather has excellent breathability and moisture permeability, allowing the skin to stay dry and comfortable when worn, and it has high strength and wear resistance, and can be used for many years as long as it is properly maintained. However, it has weak water resistance, high price, and because it is limited by animal skin resources, its production volume is difficult to increase on a large scale.
