Nowadays, the economic development has improved, the living standards of ordinary people have improved, and we have a lot of clothes, pants, shoes, satchels and other common daily necessities in daily life. However, usually the price is high, but the purchase is not genuine leather, so many people are very troubled. Today, let's learn and train a few ways to distinguish between genuine leather and artificial leather.


Leather products, is pure natural, is the application of small animal skin production and processing of objects, now the sales market we often say that the leather generally refers to the first layer of cowhide, two layers of leather, the generation of leather three kinds, and in the price of the first layer of cowhide is more expensive, the second layer of leather is second, the product is the least.


Artificial leather, is made of basic chemical raw materials, is made of textile cloth or non-proof cloth base, made of a variety of different secret recipes of PVC and PU and other polyurethane foaming or sub-film production and processing, although the surface is very similar to leather, but the vast majority of artificial leather, in touch and ductility and air permeability can not be compared with leather, so their price is much more cost-effective.


Looking at the surface with the eye, the surface of the dermis is not the same level of smoothness and delicacy, with significant skin pores and lines, and there are generally piles inside. The artificial leather is thin and symmetrical, the surface is smooth, there is no incompleteness, and there is generally no pile in the leather. Smell with your nose, if it is genuine leather, you will smell the smell of fur, even if this pure natural skin has been solved by manpower, but it will still leave a smell. If it is artificial leather, there will be a smell of plastic if you smell it carefully.


Touch it with your hand, the leather touch is quite malleable, and there will be wrinkles when bent down, and the folds are uneven. Artificial leather, on the other hand, is less responsive to the touch, and the size of the folds is similar when bent down.
Finally, it is identified by the breathability and water absorption capacity of the leather. Drop a drop of water on the object, wait for a while, if the water completely subsides, it is leather, because the dermis has a strong ability to absorb water. If the water is not sucked away, it is likely to be artificial leather.
