treacherous faux
"Excuse me, but there's a problem."
"Oh?"
"This isn't leatherette."
"Ah, yes, actually you're correct--"
"It's some kind of fake."
Pause. "Ah, hmmm." Corner of an amused smile. "It's faux leatherette."
"Yeah, it's not the real deal."
"Sometimes referred to as faux faux leather."
"I guess so. What are these made of?"
"Leather."

Even if it's a treacherous faux, you don't have to sweat the fray.

were any animals harmed in the rendering of this faux faux? i suspect that since a faux faux is a form of a double-negative, some were - i'm pretty positive on that .. how's that for a charge
