Alcantara is a man-made microfiber textile with a similar look and feel to suede. It has better qualities when compared to leather making it an ideal fabric for vehicle interiors. Alcantra is 50% lighter than leather, does not crack or fade over time, resists stains, customizable with colors and much more.
