Bonded leather is made from real leather. However, [it] is made from leather pieces that are bonded together... Once bonded, the leather is dyed, cut and embossed to look like genuine leather. The look and feel is as genuine leather(though not high-grade leather). Due to the fact that it is not made from a single sheet of leather, bonded leather is less expensive, and more often than not, less durable than genuine leather. 3, record 2, English, - bonded%20leather
