Look, this came from spanish, probably introducing an error. This is my feeling, backed by some experience. I hope you really understand the text.

Asker: The adjective "recovered" is clearly referring to the seats, not the leather. Pass

Imitation Skin


Explanation:
It's not actually skin itself, obviously, so it must be a material that has the look and feel of skin, much like leather.

An idea for you :)

Yes, 'imitation leather', right on. I think that this question will be awarded to someone else though because of the peer agree policy that you originally selected. It actually says that you prefer my answer but it will still be awarded to someone else, so I'm not sure how that works, are you? Seems like an error. Cheers :)
