Recently we have found many new microfibres with leather fibres glued onto the backside. We cannot imagine what the benefits are. Without these leather fibres, the microfibre itself would have been a great product alreday. We advice our partners in industry and trade, to sell these type of products as a textile / fabric. Leather would not be appropriate. The picture shows a microscope picture of the back. This is no leather.
