Pleather

Pleather is a combination of the words "leather" and "plastic." It is a plastic material used in clothes to look like leather. It used to be worn by people who did not have enough money to buy leather, but the status of pleather is rising in the fashion world. It is also popular, like fake fur, because of its animal activist image. Pleather looks like leather but you do not have to kill an animal to get it.
