How to Distinguish Genuine Leather and Fake Leather？
Jan 25, 2022
When buying furniture, especially high-end sofas, it is obviously imitation leather, but it tells you that it is a sofa made of leather, and the price is even more expensive. Many people don't know how to distinguish real leather and imitation leather in leather furniture, which is a major problem when buying leather furniture. Here are a few easy-to-follow methods:
Touch method: touch the surface with your hands, the leather feels smooth and delicate, soft and elastic, while the imitation leather feels stiff and has no elasticity.
Pressing method: Press the surface with your fingers, and the stress point of the leather sinks with the fingers, forming a delicate fold pattern, which can quickly return to its original shape after letting go. The imitation leather, because the cortex is hard, will form a circular pit when the finger presses the force point, there are no folds nearby, and the recovery is slower after letting go. In layman's terms, if the dermatoglyphs gather towards the pressed part, it means that it is genuine leather.
Skin-picking method: Just use your fingernails to scoop the skin. If the scouring is restored immediately, it is basically genuine leather. If the scouring is very slow or does not restore, then it is artificial leather.
