Is PU leather and Vegan leather the same?

PU leather and vegan leather are similar but not exactly the same. PU leather, made from polyurethane, is a type of synthetic leather that mimics real leather while being more affordable and easier to maintain. Vegan leather, on the other hand, refers to any non-animal-based leather alternative, which can include materials like cork, rubber, or other synthetics, including PU. Therefore, while all PU leather can be considered vegan leather, not all vegan leather is PU leather.
