Recognition of true and false

Method 1: You can peel open the fur and separate the hairs from both sides to see the skin inside, just like the effect you see when you peel off someone's hair. It has pores and looks like it grows. 3-9 hairs can grow in one hair follicle. In addition, furs are usually spliced, not whole pieces. Look at the interface, which is the interface between one piece of skin and another piece of skin. Then compare the color, length of hair, and the number and thickness of each pore. These are places where artificial fur cannot be faked.

Method 2: At first glance, artificial fur is either too bright and has distorted gloss, or the hair is tangled and untidy. Artificial fur that imitates animal patterns, the patterns are the same as other textiles, usually repeat regularly and in an orderly manner, and look perfect. Real animal fur patterns cannot be so perfect. Moreover, a jacket usually requires multiple pieces of fur to be spliced ​​together, so it is impossible to be as harmonious as artificial fur in terms of the uniformity of color and pattern.

Method 3: You can also pull out a few hairs and burn them with a lighter. It will have the burnt smell of animals, like the original flavor of barbecue. Then look at the fire, it will not be very strong, because the oil content is very small. After the heat is turned off, chant the ash ball with your hands, which can easily be read into powder, without any clumps or granular lumps. This is the characteristic of animal hair. You can try it with one of your own hair and you will understand. The artificial ones are processed with chemical fibers. After burning, they will form a ball and twist it into particles with hands.

Natural fur quilts have long and hard needle hair, thicker hard bristles and soft fluff. The lengths of various fur vary, and the entire skin is different in different parts, lengths, density and feel. Artificial fur generally has neat fur and rough luster.

Purchasing skills

In recent years, fur clothing has gradually become a popular trend. The so-called fur clothing is a clothing made of animal fur. Because it is made of animal fur and the cost is relatively high, the price of fur clothing is relatively high. Due to the good warmth performance of fur itself and the fashion trends in recent years, fur clothing has become a favorite of more and more people. However, what issues should consumers pay attention to when purchasing fur?

1. You must choose regular shopping malls and merchants that have been operating for more than a few years and have good reputation. After all, fur is expensive, so it is not worth the cost to buy fake and inferior goods for small gains.

2. High-quality fur has the characteristics of comfortable and soft feel, smooth and warm, consistent fur color and light weight. When purchasing fur, you can touch and pat the fur with your hands. If it feels rough and lacks three-dimensional, it is obviously not a high-quality fur. However, the price of high-quality fur is also often very expensive.

3. Choose the origin of fur: fur produced by raw mink produced in the United States, Canada, Denmark and Finland is the best.

4. In terms of choosing lining and accessories, a good fur coat lining must be anti-static, high-voltage and anti-shrinkage fabric, and the lining must be a living room. If you lift it with your hands, you can see the lining net and fur thread. In addition, its buttons must also be excellent and matched with fur. The fur must be of the same origin as the collar and sleeves.

Outdoor protection

(1) Fur is undoubtedly winter. Please stay away from heat sources when wearing fur clothing, especially heaters, because dry heat will absorb the deficiencies in the fur, making the fur hard and easily break.

(2) Pay special attention when dining in a restaurant. It is best not to put fur clothing in storage, because the space there is too small, you can fold the fur carefully and place it on a chair and ask the waiter to wrap it in a large suit instead of hanging it on a hook or shelf.. Simply put, the fur also needs a location when you eat, but it has to be away from the dining table.

(3) If you sit in the car or in the cinema for a long time, it is better to take off your fur clothing to avoid pressing it. When folding, be sure to keep the fur side facing out.

(4) Pay attention to whether the items you carry with you will damage the ring fur. For example, the straps of a small bag, especially those with metal chains, can wear out the fur. If you are a person who often carries briefcases, be careful not to let the bag rub against the fur for a long time.

(5) There are some details that cannot be ignored, such as not to buckle anything on the fur, and also be careful whether the metal on the watch or bracelet will often rub against the cuffs of the fur clothing.

(6) Wearing a silk scarf can prevent the skin from getting oil and cosmetics from staining the collar of the leather. If you accidentally leave your makeup on the fur, be careful when erasing. Usually, the better way is to leave the fur to a professional.

(7) Never use sharp objects to scratch the fur, as sharp objects will cause great damage to the fur.

(8)Don't spray perfume on fur. The alcohol content in the perfume will make the hair hard and brittle, and its oily texture will sometimes emit a strange and unpleasant smell.

(9)Don't try to use a comb to comb your fur. If the fur is not smooth, curled, knotted, etc., it is recommended that you send it to a professional department for treatment.

(10) Don’t give up wearing fur clothes because of rain and snow. If the fur surface is wet, just grab the underarms of the fur lining, pick it up and shake it a few times, shake off the raindrops on the surface, and then hang it in a dry and cool place to dry naturally. Never heat and bake or expose it to the sun. Once it is thoroughly dry, just pat the fur. If it doesn't look as beautiful as before, you can send it to a professional fur shop to comfort and shine.
