The answer to this question seems simple only until you are faced with the problem itself face to face. In some products there is no doubt about the origin of fur, but there are also some that you need to acquire with extreme caution, otherwise you risk becoming a victim of dishonest sellers.
How to distinguish natural fur from forgery?
If you buy a fur garment in a well-known brand store, where "chances" for a fake chances are small, then to understand the quality of the material will help you label. A good manufacturer will not forget to mention on it what he used fur.
But even if you are used to buying clothes in other stores, then, knowing how to distinguish natural fur from artificial, you can protect yourself from forgery.
The main differences between natural fur and artificial
- The basis of natural fur is wrinkled, rather hard leather, the lining of artificial fur is made of a dense fabric, which has a cloth base. If the fur on the product does not move apart, then use a needle for the test - just stick it into the product. If it comes out easily, then you have a woven base, if you come across an obstacle, then most likely it is leather, which means that the fur is natural.
- "Extreme" way of checking - pull out a few hairs from a product or sample and set it on fire - natural fur quickly burns and smells of burnt hair, artificial smells of burnt plastic and melts for much longer.
- The price is not a 100% indicator of naturalness, too much discount should lead you to the idea that you are being deceived.
How to distinguish natural and artificial fur mink?
Elite fur mink is very often counterfeited. To do this, use completely non-elite skins of rabbits or marmots. Recognizing deception is, at times, not easy. Only after a couple of years, when the fur begins to shine, fall out, wipe, you can suspect something is amiss. To prevent such disappointment, do not rush to buy, but carefully inspect the fur and pay attention to such moments:
- rabbit fur is too soft, and the marmot fur, on the other hand, is excessively hard, so focus on the golden mean - a mink moderately soft and hard to the touch, may stick a little;
- The length of hairs at mink fur is the same throughout the product;
- mink fur coats , exactly the same as fur coats from other furs have a mandatory certificate, which you can safely ask the seller.
