Furniture made of imitation leather with the name "Napalon Leather" is sometimes offered. Since it is an artificial leather, the name is misleading without the indication that it is only a synthetic leather, and does not correspond to the obligation to label materials. The idea with the name is to make it sound like nappa leather. But it is not leather.
This material often appears in online trading. Often, it is not pointed out that it is not genuine leather. The following declarations are used:
- Material: Napalon leather (textile leather 100% polyurethane, basic fabric 100% cotton)
- Material: Napalon leather, Material composition of the fabric: 100% polyurethane (in easy to care leather), basic fabric 100% cotton
- Material: Leather Tex
- Material: PU leather
Whether "Leather Tex" or "Textile leather", none of the materials is leather.
Because of the frequent false declaration it is not clear whether sometimes even genuine leather is offered. Therefore you should always ask before buying. The term only appears in the lower price segment. Such leather is usually strong pigmented, sanded and embossed and therfore feel cold and less breathable.
