What’s a Rexine fabric?

“Rexine” is a term that’s been around for decades and is currently used primarily outside the United States. Originally, it was a trade name for a specific fabric, but Rexine has generally come to mean a faux leather material. It is a coated fabric, and PVC is usually the coating material. Rexine fabrics are used in upholstery, bookbinding and footwear applications.
