The name intentionally has no specific definition in either the furniture or fabric industry - and furniture manufacturers want to keep it that way as long as they can get away with it. Why? So consumers think they are getting something they are not. We ain't got no Ralph Nader jumping on this one so far.<br /><br />At one time "bonded leather" was remainder scraps of leather that were glued together, processed and dyed - which resulted in a faux leather material with weak spots that would break down and tear easily. These days, since vinyl is just plain cheaper, they just call vinyl coverings with an embossed "leather looking" pattern bonded leather and... there you go.<br /><br />The bottom line is anything described as "bonded leather" is anything but leather. At least a sold piece of it.
