Leather Fine

how do you know if a sofa is made from real leather or not?
Furniture stores do mention if they use 100% leather or leather-match, however our particular sofa set mentions the following, “finest leather combined with the best designed leather match”. I don’t really care even if it is leather match, it is important for the material to be long lasting. I hope its not vinyl or anything. How can I tell what material they use in leather match? and How can I tell if any real leather is used or not?
I have a friend who has a sofa with “finest leather combined with the best designed leather match”.
The back and seat cushions along with the arm rests are all 100% leather. The entire rest of the couch body is the “leather match”, a fancy set of words for vinyl. Some of the synthetic leathers are a very close match to the real thing that most people can’t even tell the difference. As weird as it sounds, the only way I can tell if leather is real, is to either look at the underside (hide) or smell it.
You could always ask, point blank, to the furniture salesman, “exactly which parts of this furniture is genuine leather?”
Good luck.
