There are various types of artificial leather, and PU leather is only one kind. Other kinds of artificial leather include PVC leather. Some forms of faux leather are even made out of substances like oak trees and kelp. Polyurethane leather was created to have the same look and feel of leather, but without using actual animal skin.

Synthetic leather is frequently used in vegan shoes and other brands that cater to those concerned about the welfare of animals. Faux-leather is frequently made of a combination of textiles and polyurethane to give the synthetic material an authentic leather feel.

Artificial leather is a material intended to substitute for leather in fields such as upholstery, clothing, footwear and fabrics and other uses where a leather-like finish is desired but the actual material is cost-prohibitive or unsuitable. Artificial leather is marketed under many names, including "leatherette", "faux leather", "vegan leather", "PU leather" and "pleather".

Note: some PU leather does actually have animal leather.  PU leather is an artificial leather material made with split leather (that's the fibrous part of the hide left over from making genuine leather) which has been coated with polyurethane (hence the name “PU”).  It can be argued that PU leather has greater durability due to its polyurethane finish, but it usually lacks the qualities and subtleties of a true full-grain or nubuck leather.

PU leather might be combined with real leather in a form called bi-cast leather. Bi-cast leather may use a split leather base which is then covered with a PVC or PU layer. Polyurethane leather typically has the same general feel of leather, but it's typically a little lighter than genuine leather.
