"Leather" is a common word in leather products market, and it is a customary name to distinguish natural leather from synthetic leather. In the concept of consumers, "genuine leather" also has a non-fake meaning. In fact, dermis is leather, which is mainly composed of mammalian skin. There are many kinds of genuine leather, with diverse varieties, different structures, different quality and the same price. Therefore, genuine leather is not only the general name of all natural leathers, but also a vague mark on the commodity market.
Several common methods to distinguish dermis;
First, feel: that is, touch the leather surface with your hands. If it is smooth, soft, plump and elastic, it is genuine leather; However, the surface of synthetic leather is regrettable because of its convergence, rigidity and poor softness.
Second, at first glance, you can see that there are clear pores and patterns on the dermis surface. Cowhide has well-proportioned fine pores, yak skin has coarse and sparse pores, goat skin has fish-scale pores, and pig skin has triangular coarse pores. Although artificial leather also imitates pores, it is not clear.
3. Smell: All leather has the smell of leather; Moreover, artificial leather has a strong plastic pungent smell.
4. Ignition: Tear off a little fiber from the back of genuine leather and artificial leather. After ignition, it is artificial leather that emits a pungent smell and forms a knot; It's genuine leather that smells like hair without induration.
