Synthetic leather has come a long way in the last few years and it can sometimes be difficult to tell if a sofa is upholstered in real or fake leather at first look.
The best way to tell if the leather is real or not is to touch it. Real leather is a natural material and so will have a bumpier, less even surface than a synthetic product. If you’re still unsure, give the sofa a sniff. Real leather has an unmistakable rich aroma that no synthetic product can match.
