That is, the back surface member is joined to the skin portion via the suction portion and the support member, so that the suction portion can be held by the support portion. At this time, the back member and the support member may be in a state of being integrally joined or in a state of a separate member, or in any state.

The material of the back member is not particularly limited. That is, since the back surface member is disposed on the back surface side of the support member, even if the back surface member has air permeability, it is difficult for the passed gas to reach the adsorption portion. For this reason, the back member may be a material having no air permeability,
The material is no longer limited. As a more preferable material,
It is the same material as the skin material.

Since the supporting portion is composed of the supporting member and the back surface member, the decorative material of the present invention can be given sufficient rigidity, and the suction portion can be held by the decorative material.

It is preferable that the supporting portion has a locking member for fixing the decorative material to the locked member on a surface not facing the adsorbing material. Since the support portion has the locking member, the decorative material of the present invention can be fixed to various places.

It is preferable that the locking member is an adhesive tape or a hook-and-loop fastener whose locking surface is exposed. Here, the term “locking surface” refers to a surface that exhibits a bonding force with the surface of the mating material when the decorative material of the present invention is fixed to the surface of the mating material.
Since the locking member is an adhesive tape or a hook-and-loop fastener, the decorative material can be sufficiently fixed.

It is preferable that the patch is a sheet-like patch in which a skin portion, a suction portion and a support portion are laminated. By using the emblem as the decorative material of the present invention, the atmosphere can be purified while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the decorative material.

The emblem is preferably a vehicle emblem used in a vehicle.
Since a closed space is formed in the cabin of the vehicle, the odor component in the cabin can be removed by disposing the vehicle emblem. As a result, a comfortable interior space can be obtained.

The manufacturing method of the decorative material of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the skin portion and the support portion are sandwiched between the skin portion and the support portion while the suction portion formed in a predetermined shape is sandwiched between the skin portion and the support portion. It can be manufactured by joining.
