Cow leather: The pores on the leather surface are small, round, evenly and tightly distributed, the leather surface is bright and smooth, the texture is plump and delicate, the appearance is flat and soft, and the texture is solid and elastic when touched by hand. When selecting, if you squeeze the leather surface hard, small wrinkles will appear. For leather products made from cowhide, if you don’t look carefully, you can barely see the bristles. Artificial leather: also known as imitation leather. Because the current imitation leather products made of polyurethane non-woven synthetic leather are close to genuine leather products in appearance, they can even look "real". This requires careful identification and selection. Generally speaking, imitation leather is made by applying chemical raw materials to cloth. The appearance and feel of imitation cowhide are like cowhide; the appearance and feel of imitation sheepskin are like sheepskin, and the leather surface is shiny. However, if you look closely, there are no pores on the leather surface, and the base plate is not animal skin. Squeeze hard and the leather will not wrinkle. It can still be distinguished from animal skin, but there is also microporous film artificial leather. In this case, it can still be distinguished based on the base material on the back. Some criminals sell imitation leather products as genuine leather products. In order to avoid being spotted, they often attach a layer of miscellaneous leather to the edge of the interface of imitation leather products, and the leather is sandwiched at the interface. Consumers should pay attention to the distinction when purchasing to avoid being fooled.
