Abstract: A natural leather-like patterned artificial leather is provided which has a pattern with excellent wear resistance, while having an excellently delicate design, where the artificial leather is composed of: a fiber entangled body which comprises, as a constituent, a nonwoven fabric configured from ultrafine fibers that are formed from a thermoplastic resin, while having an average single fiber diameter of from 1 ?m to 10 ?m; and an elastomer. At least one surface of the artificial leather is a design surface having at least a piloerection part and a fused part, where the difference between the thickness of the piloerection part and the thickness of the fused part is from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm; and the formulae (1) to (3) described below are satisfied.

Abstract: Provided is an artificial leather, which exhibits light transmitting properties and maintains its texture and touch while being dark-colored and having a medium or higher density, the artificial leather including a fiber entangled body formed of ultrafine fibers having an average single fiber diameter of 0.1 to ?m; and an elastomer, in which the artificial leather has a thickness of 0.4 to 1.2 mm and a weight per unit area of 80 to 450 g/m2, where one surface of the artificial leather is a design surface colored with a dye and/or a pigment and satisfies the following Formulas (1) to (3): L*1?55 . . . ??(1) L0>50 . . . ??(2) ?L* <?5 . . . ??(3) where L*1, L*0 and ?L* are as defined.
