How to distinguish genuine leather?
There are several ways to distinguish natural from artificial skin, let us consider each of them in more detail:
- Genuine leather tends to heat when in contact with the human body. The leatherette has the same properties, but heating is much slower, and there is a slight humidity on the surface;
- You can distinguish genuine leather by thickness. Natural material has an uneven edge and much greater density than leatherette;
- Genuine leather is more elastic and quickly returns to its original state after bending;
- Genuine leather does not change color when exposed to mechanical stress;
- Faux leather has a sharp, unpleasant odor, while natural has a rather pleasant, characteristic aroma;
- Both leatherette and natural material have pores. And if the first they are identical, then the second they are of different depths and have a chaotic arrangement;
- The basis of genuine leather consists of several interwoven fibers, and the basis of leatherette is fabric.
In addition, genuine leather can be easily distinguished by temperature effects. Artificial leather does not withstand absolutely no interaction with fire, while genuine leather can spend a small amount of time under its influence, without receiving any damage.
In addition, genuine leather absorbs moisture, while artificial skin rejects it.
Selection tips
There are no specific rules for choosing handmade bags, but if you want to buy a product from genuine leather, you need to take into account all its features and carefully familiarize yourself with all the ways that help distinguish it from a fake.
The choice of model and shape of the product should be made from personal preferences, but the main thing to consider is that the dimensions of the bag should correspond to the dimensions of the girl herself.
A fragile girl with a huge bag will not look appropriate, and a complete young lady with too small a product will be somewhat awkward.
