APPAREL PLEATHER (3 COLORS)
APPAREL PLEATHER (3 COLORS)
Faux leather "pleather" vinyl on a white synthetic knit backing. Likely polyurethane coating on polyester knit content with texture applied to resemble leather skin. Measures 54" in usable width and available for order by the yard.
*This pleather is lighter weight than most faux leathers and is more similar to a lighter weight lambskin leather. It has considerable flexibility and slight ease when stretched. Suitable for apparel purposes: tops, pants, dresses, skirts, light jackets.
These fabrics are recovered from high-end designers in New York City, sold as a sustainable alternative to destruction and discard in landfill
