"Faux" means fake or artifical. So faux leather or "pleather" (as it's humorously called) is plastic designed to look like leather. There's also faux fur, which is some type of synthetic material designed to look like the real deal.

Faux anything means artificial. Fake, man made, not the real thing.

faux is French for 'false', so it isn't real leather but a fabricated material that looks like it.
