Hi guys,
I was in D'sara Uptown today looking at sofas. This salesman came up to me and told me it was Rustico leather.

Not real leather, and not PU also.. its a new type of leather in the market, and its anti scratch  blink.gif  blink.gif 

We literally did a scratch test, and really it didn't leave any marks.
I am quite tempted to buy, but just thought if any of you heard of it, and would like to share your thoughts..

it says :

"Rustico leather:
Abrasion resistant : 700,00   Cycle rubs tested
ISO 7854 : 1984"

No idea what this means.. anyone can explain?
the price for a 3 seater is about 1.4k..
*
ISO 7854 : 1984 refers to Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics -- Determination of resistance to damage by flexing (dynamic method).

Here's the link:

My guess is that this is Faux leather a PU coated bonded leather at best. Worst case may also be PVC or PU (leather look alike).

My suggestion is just go for the real leather stuff.
