Look up 'PU Leather'. It's basically a synthetic leather composite. Advantages are that it's light and waterproof. Disads are that it's not quite as hard wearing and it doesn't look quite the same.
PU leather quality varies. My partner has many handbags from this material. They wear down very quickly with frequent use though, mainly cracking and tears. Also break easily depending on the thickness.
