Pure leather test |
Drop a small amount of water on the good, as real leather absorbs moisture. If the good is fake, the water will simply puddle up on top. But real leather will absorb a small drop of water in only a few seconds , telling you quickly if it is genuine.
=========================================================
Check the surface grain, the little "pebbles" and pores, for imperfections and uniqueness that signal genuine leather.
Imperfections, in leather, are actually a good thing. Remember, real
leather is made from animal skin, and thus each piece is as random and
unique as the animal it came from. Very regular, even, and similar
grains often indicate a machine-made piece.
- Real leather might have scratches, creases, and wrinkles -- this is a good thing.
