How to identify a real cowhide bag? What happens when a real cowhide bag encounters water?

Method 1. First of all, there will be subtle "wrinkles" in the folded or stressed places, just like people's **, and there will be natural wrinkles when pressed by hand, and the wrinkles of cowhide are similar to human wrinkles.

Method 2: The easiest way to identify is to pinch it with your fingernails, of course, don't pinch it, pinch it gently, if you can come back quickly, it is cowhide, you can't come back or you may fake it very slowly, because one of the characteristics of cowhide is good elasticity.

Method 3: It is judged by temperature, cowhide is the skin of animals, it is constant temperature, and it will not be cold in winter, imitation leather.

It's obviously cold, if there is a leather bag and an imitation leather bag, the effect will come out at once in winter.

Method four. Cowhide has a bit of a stinky smell, cowhide is made of chemical tanning, there is a chemical smell and a faint animal smell, which can not be removed from cowhide, you can smell it carefully. Imitation leather only has a fragrance or chemical odor, and the chemical odor is very pungent.

Method 5: If it is really difficult to distinguish through the above, there is no way, if it is convenient, cut off a small tassel and burn it with a lighter, if it emits the smell of burning pig's trotters, it is a real cowhide.

The surface of the cowhide absorbs oil and water, and the surface of the imitation leather does not absorb water, drop a drop of water or oil to know, this is a method, but can not be completely distinguished by this, because the surface of the cowhide is generally coated with a waterproof layer, because the real cowhide is easy to mold when it encounters water, and it will be waterproof before leaving the factory.

The first is the feel, and the second is to smell it with your nose.

The surface of polished cowhide is flatter and smoother than that of ordinary cowhide, but the pores should still be visible, and the pores of cowhide are much denser than sheepskin and horse leather, and the lines are denser. In addition, because it has been thrown light, it is thinner than the general cowhide, so the texture should be softer

Why are cowhide bags so expensive? and how to identify a real cowhide bag. 2010-01-08 14:06According to the size of the cowhide, thickness, the type of cattle, the degree of disability, etc.

Taking Northeast cowhide as an example, in 2009, the length of the bull leather was 360 yuan, and the length was about 185 yuan.

And now most of the so-called cowhide bags on the market are made of leather; Split leather, two-layer cowhide, bionic cowhide or PU leather and other synthetic materials. In addition to the use of synthetic leather, in order to reduce costs, there are also great differences in the process of making leather bags, which are separated from the surface; Take women's bags as an example, in shopping malls or specialty stores, you take a bag at random, look at the sign, the material written on it is PU leather or genuine leather, and it is already telling you that the leather bag they sell is not cowhide, only and its individual writing is pure cowhide, that is, you have to carefully distinguish with the leather label, in addition to the front of the bag, and the back is not real cowhide, especially on the two sides or bottom of the bag to see what kind of leather, basically use synthetic leather. Some leather bag merchants use half and a half of general genuine leather and fake leather.

Especially for dividing leather, a cowhide can be divided into more than 10 layers with a machine, the upper and lower layers are good leather, and a layer of bionic leather is sandwiched between you. For bags produced with this technology, the average consumer cannot discern them. It can only be distinguished from the above.

So if you want to buy a real cowhide bag, in addition to mastering some distinguishing skills, you also have to learn to calculate, for example; A so-called pure cowhide bag, the price he is listed above is 1000 yuan, and now it is sold at a discount to 200 yuan, you think about it yourself with your head, can this be a pure cowhide bag, a bag, the factory price is 100 yuan, the manufacturer from the factory to the end to the consumer, have you calculated how many hands? How many ** have been added? Unless those dealers are relatives of you, a bag will only earn you 10 bucks.

A cowhide can't be without insect eyes and scars. Therefore, when we make leather bags, we will try to remove the bad ones, so the cost will increase relatively speaking. Therefore, a big bag on the market that claims to be a whole cowhide is only sold for about 100-200 yuan, and it can be said that these bags are fake.

Artificial leather and synthetic leather, which is characterized by the absence of pores on the surface. Carefully observe the clear pores and patterns on the surface of the real leather, the goatskin has fish scale-like pores, the pigskin has triangular coarse pores, the yellow cowhide has more symmetrical fine pores, and the yak leather has coarser and sparse pores. Artificial leather, although some also imitate pores, but not clear, most of them only have suppressed patterns to imitate the leather style.

No matter how similar synthetic leather is imitated, careful observation can also see the traces of mold pressing.

Genuine leather feels plump and smooth; Artificial leather and synthetic leather will feel wet and sticky when you cover it by hand for a little longer. The surface of the cowhide is smooth, the particles are fine, and the strength is high; The pores on the surface of pigskin are larger and rougher, and the appearance is not as good as cowhide; The sheepskin has a finer surface and a softer texture. Real leather has an astringent feeling to the touch, and artificial leather is relatively smooth.

The upper section of the leather has a tight layer of the epidermis and leather fibers, and the artificial leather has no leather fibers only cloth or synthetic materials, at the junction of the large leather and the small piece of leather, the stitches of the leather are relatively dense (5 6 stitches per centimeter), and the stitches of the fake leather are too dense when formed, so most of them dare not be too dense.

Real cowhide will have a natural cowhide smell when smelled with your nose, and it will not pick your nose, and some people will especially like this smell. Fake leather shoes generally have a more nasal smell of artificial leather or rubber, fake leather has a plastic cloth smell, and there is no smell of burnt hair when burning.

Use your fingers to pull the top from the back of the leather, the leather grain becomes delicate and shiny, and the leather grain does not change or becomes gray for synthetic leather.

Looking at the cut surface or back, the back of the cowhide and the back of the imitation leather are completely different, which is the most direct judgment method for most people.

Genuine leather is a natural fiber structure, imitation leather is the product of the combination of polyurethane and yarn textiles, you can know it at a glance.

Of course, there is now a type of PU transfer film, which is to use cowhide fragments to press into a thin block of cowhide as a base, and then coat it with a layer of imitation leather on its surface, which cannot be distinguished from the back, because its back is a cowhide structure.
