What fashionista does not dream of having at least one product made of natural suede in her wardrobe. This material has amazing softness and incredible beauty, moreover, it is able to warm its owner and protect it from moisture and dampness. Unfortunately, faux suede can often be passed off as real.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the price of the product. If the suede is natural, it will cost an order of magnitude more expensive than its artificial counterparts. The low price should alert you first. Of course, high-quality fakes are often sold at prices that can correspond to products made from natural suede, which is why you need to pay attention to other parameters. Look at the texture of the product. Natural suede does not have a specific color, and its pile is always directed in different directions. If you run your hand over such a surface, there will definitely be a trace of a different shade. But artificial suede is made so that the pile has a certain direction, therefore, after stroking with your hand, the marks on it are not so noticeable.
Step 2
Real suede always has characteristic scuffs and pores. Examine the surface of the product carefully and, if necessary, bring it close to your eyes. On faux suede, you will not notice any small scratches or pores. Run your hand over the suede. If it is natural, it will be soft, delicate and velvety, but artificial to the touch seems smoother and harder.
Step 3
Do not hesitate to sniff the product in the store, because suede must have a subtle characteristic smell that cannot be faked. But artificial products cannot boast of anything like that - they exude a faint smell of synthetics or have no smell at all.
