Imitation leather and method for producing same

A method for producing an imitation leather, having a three-dimensional textile supporting material (1) and a covering (2) applied to one side of the supporting material (1), in which the covering (2) is polyvinyl chloride-based and has three successive layers (21), (22), (23), and including the steps of:

• applying the third layer (23) of the covering (2), which forms the subsequent top layer, in a paste form onto a removable backing and subsequent drying of the third layer (23);
• applying the second layer (22) of the covering (2) as an intermediate layer onto the dried third layer (23) and subsequent drying of the second layer (22);
• applying the first layer (21) of the covering (2) in the paste form onto the dried second layer (22);
• placing the textile supporting material (1) onto the first layer (21), which is in the paste form, and subsequent drying of the first layer (21);
• and
• detaching the third layer (23) from the backing.
