True and false identification
Method 1: you can peel off the fur and separate the fur on both sides to look at the skin inside, just as you can see when you peel off a person's hair. There are pores, is the appearance of growth, a hair follicle can grow 3-9 roots of hair. In addition, fur is usually stitched together, not whole piece. If you look at the interface, it is the interface between one piece of leather and another, and then compare the color of the two pieces of leather, the length of hair, and the number and thickness of each pore. These are places where artificial fur can't be fake.
Method 2: artificial fur at a glance, either too bright, gloss distortion, or hair tangled and untidy. Imitation of animal pattern of artificial fur, the pattern is like other textiles, usually regular and orderly repeated, looks very perfect. Real animal fur patterns can't be so perfect. Moreover, a coat usually needs several pieces of fur to be stitched together, so the uniformity of color and pattern can not be as harmonious as that of artificial fur.
Method 3: you can also pluck a few hairs and burn them with a lighter. There is a burning smell of burnt animals, like the original flavor of barbecue. Then you can watch the fire. It won't be very prosperous, because the oil content is very small. After the fire is turned off, read the ash ball by hand. It is easy to read it into powder. There is no caking and no granule.

Different parts, length, density and hand feel of the whole leather are different. However, the fur of artificial fur is generally neat and glossy.
Shopping skills
In recent years, fur clothing has gradually become a popular trend. The so-called fur clothing is made of animal fur. Because it is made of animal fur, the cost is relatively high, so the price of fur clothing is relatively high. Due to the good thermal insulation performance of fur and the fashion trend in recent years, fur clothing has become more and more popular. However, what kind of problems should consumers pay attention to when choosing fur?
1. To buy fur, you must choose to buy it in regular shopping malls and businesses with good reputation and operating for more than a few years. After all, the price of fur is very high. It is not worth the loss to buy fake or inferior goods for the sake of small and cheap goods.
2. High quality fur has the characteristics of comfortable and soft handle, smooth and warm, consistent coat color and light weight. When buying fur, you can touch and pat the fur with your hand. If it feels rough and lacks three-dimensional feeling, it is obviously not a high-quality fur. However, the price of high-quality fur is often very expensive.

The fur of collar lining and sleeve must be of the same origin.

(2) Special attention should be paid to dining in restaurants. Fur clothing is best not to put in the storage area, because the space there is too small, you can fold the fur carefully and put it on the chair, and ask the waiter to wrap it in a big suit, instead of hanging it on the hook or shelf. In short, fur also needs a place to eat, but it has to be away from the table.
(3) If you're sitting in a car or in the cinema for a long time, it's better to take off your fur clothes to avoid crushing it. When folding, make sure that the side of the wool is facing out.

(5) There are also some details that can't be ignored, such as don't buckle anything on the fur, and pay attention to whether the metal on the watch or bracelet often rubs against the cuff of fur clothing.

Never heat and bake or expose to the sun. When it's dry, tap the fur. If it doesn't look as beautiful as it used to be, you can send it to a professional fur care shop for ironing and polishing.
