Presstoff (also Preßstoff or Pressstoff) is the German-language term for a type of ersatz or artificial leather used during the first half of the 20th century. It is one of the oldest artificial leather.
It was made from specially layered paper pulp, which was then treated with a specific resin that would bind it together in layers.
