Microfiber leather is the highest quality grade synthetic leather. It simulates the structure of natural leather.
The surface layer is made of resin from import, the bottom layer is made of nylon fiber. The common toothpick can not pass through microfiber leather like genuine leather, but it can pass through all the other kinds of artificial leather. Here below are the advantages of it:
• The best replacement for leather and 20% cheaper
• Better tearing resistance, tensile resistance, and abrasion resistance than leather
• Easier to cut and higher utilization ratio than leather
• More breathable, easier to clean than leather
• More environmentally friendly than leather
• Antibacterial, mildew resistant, moth-proofing, no odor
