Этот вопрос я сам (:)) задавал 25 октября 2001 г., и выбрал тогда следующий ответ (победитель - Jack Doughty):

This is an imitation leather material used in the upholstery of furniture and also in cars and other vehicles. It may be a registered trade mark but I have not been able to find out whether it it or not. Leatherette has a plastic top layer with imitation leather finish and a backing layer of stretch fabric. It is easier to fit than leather because it has more stretch in it.
I am speaking from experience. I used leatherette to make rear seat covers for a Volvo 122s some time about 1975. (The front seat covers were beyond me, I ordered the required amount of leatherette and got a professional seat cover making firm to make them up for me).

synthetic leather


Explanation:
Seems to be a more common term in the industry at least as measured by the frequency of hits in the internet. "Artificial" is second.
