Default Leather Seats

I am not complaining because I think they look fabulous but, they are not really leather, are they?

Corinthian leather is my favourite leather as no animals are harmed in its manufacturing.
The name Corinthian just rolls off your tongue, especially if you say it like Ricardo Montalban said it.

I am even more confused now! Wikipedia says it’s a combination of leather and vinyl. How does that work? It doesn’t smell like leather to me.

Some car manufacturers use synthetic materials that mimic the look and feel of leather. It's a cost-effective option that still gives the luxurious appearance without the hefty price tag. However, if you're on the hunt for leather products, I recently came across Von Baer leather goods. They specialize in crafting high-quality leather items that are not only stylish but also durable. I haven't personally tried their products yet, but the reviews I've read have been quite positive.

I do not know about the crossfire my seats are Alcantra. Most cars now have leather on main seating area and use fake leather (fancy vinyl) everywhere else on the seats.
