Most leather products\u2019 manufacturers claim that their leather is authentic\u2026 This is mostly not the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we\u2019ll tell you 7 methods best used to distinguish between genuine and artificial leather products: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is this myth that genuine leather cannot be anything but its original color. The fact that it can be dyed by any color you want without being affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To really spot the difference, focus on the following points instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever walked by a leather products store and found its smell intoxicating? That\u2019s probably because it\u2019s selling original leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Genuine leather has a very distinct smell that isn\u2019t present in artificial leather. It\u2019s a very huge difference. It\u2019s also a way you can spot the difference because artificial leather will smell more like plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s weird, we know. But try smelling the product before buying it and see if you can sense something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is, by far, the most famous way to tell the type of leather you\u2019re getting: setting it on fire. It\u2019s even been mentioned on the show How I Met Your Mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Genuine leather doesn\u2019t burn, that\u2019s it. If you get a product and pass a lighter on its surface and it melts. Sorry, but you probably overpaid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf burnt, genuine leather would be marked, maybe the dye will fall off, but it will never melt. Contrary to artificial leather\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natural or genuine leather is made from, well, nature. An animal\u2019s skin is never silky smooth. The texture of genuine leather is always inconsistent, without a recurring pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, faux leather\u2019s texture is smooth, with perfect pattern repetition, and it feels too much like plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really FEEL the product before buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like the texture, genuine leather\u2019s edges have to be on the rougher end of the spectrum. Having a perfectly polished edge is a perfect sign of faux leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sneak a look at the underside of any product you buy. It shouldn\u2019t be perfect. It should be a little furry or has a figment of dye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it looks ideal, then you\u2019re maybe getting scammed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Viola Art Gallery, we try our best to produce products that have the least amount of suede fibers possible on their underside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t all have the time or energy to be leather experts. To avoid this hassle, go to the most trusted genuine leather products manufacturers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ones who your friends or family have tried out and have a positive experience with their products – Maybe ask if they tried our products?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you actually DO want to be an expert at making this distinction, you need to practice, a lot. Pick out two products, one you know is faux leather, and the other you know is genuine leather, and try to spot the difference according to the previous differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
