Faux Leather & Faux Suede Fabrics

Faux Leather & Faux Suede Fabrics by the Yard

Faux leather and faux suede fabric provides the visual and tactile character of genuine leather and suede in engineered materials that offer greater consistency of colour and texture, no hide-size limitations, improved durability in many applications, and more straightforward maintenance than genuine hide. At The WorkRoom, our faux leather and faux suede collection spans designs from leading brands including Innovations, Stout, Kravet, and more.

Current Faux Leather Technology

Modern faux leather has advanced dramatically beyond the cracking, peeling vinyl of earlier generations. Current faux leather constructions — using microfibre polyurethane, vinyl/polyester composites, and other advanced materials — achieve a flexibility, softness, and surface grain quality that closely approximates genuine split-grain or nubuck leather. The practical advantages are significant: faux leather can be cut to any size without hide irregularities, maintains consistent colour across large quantities, cleans with mild soap and water, and resists UV degradation better than many genuine leathers. For commercial and high-traffic residential applications where genuine leather's price or practical limitations are prohibitive, quality faux leather is an entirely reasonable and often superior specification.
