We tend to think of leather as coming from cows, or some sort of animal. What many people are not aware of is that leather does exist that is not made from animals! It's PU material, an incredible industry game-changer when it comes to reimagining the uses of leather. As WINIW, we are so happy to have a role in the change for better materials that not only help the planet but also actually are affordable to everyone.
Before that, you should know few good thing about PU material. A synthetic compound which is made to look and feel nearly exactly like real leather Furniture Grade PVC PU (Poly) The abreviation for;; polyurethane It is a type of plastic that has been used in furniture and decorative houses. In other words, PU leather has all the good characteristics that a real leather has like strong and soft texture but it does not come from animals. Which means it is a 100% cruelty-free material! The thing is, PU material you can see it embodies a lot of products, from shoes to bags and wallets just as (few..) furniture. This makes it perfectly suits for those who ignore animal skin and feel like to carry beautiful things.
PU material also looks like leather, but they are slightly different in performance. Some good things about PU leather is that it is top-notch and water-resistant. These fabrics are often not easily wet, making them resistant to dirt or water all of which is ideal for items like shoes and raincoats. Also, PU material is more lightweight than real leather helping us carry and wear easily. One con though is that PU material doesn't breath quite as well as leather so can get you a bit hot and sweaty if wearing for prolonged periods. So it is very important to understand what PU likes in different modes, though it has a lot of advantages.
One more great characteristic of PU material is the way it is produced and its good consequences for nature. Traditional leather is very chemical and energy intensive to produce. This even goes on where animals are killed, which is really not good for our planet. Alternatively, producing PU material is way more Earth friendly. Making PU material also generates less pollution and consumes less water as well as less of the harmful chemicals needed to create real leather. This is very well suited for people who want to save the environment and reduce their own carbon footprint.
We turn various kinds of PU material into amazing products, such as shoe lining, faux leather, microfiber insole board and automotive interior! We thought simply because a product is eco-friendly it does not have to be bland, boring or unappealing. We put everything we have into creating our beautiful products designed to outlive us. Our bags, shoes and furniture are made from modern technology and high quality materials that are the perfect alternative to real leather that does not use animal skin. So, not only can you look great but also be kind to the earth too.
PU material is also an economic option Traditional leather is time-consuming and expensive to produce. Unfortunately, that cost is often passed along to the consumer and you end up paying more for those leather items. With the help of PU material, products can be produced with good quality at reasonable prices that are affordable even to those people who want to enjoy them. WINIW has something for you; no matter if you are searching for a new pair of shoes, a trendy handbag, or maybe even an aesthetic lounger.
