How do you know what‘s true and what‘s fake?

Here, we will touch upon some "technical stuff“. Vogue is a constant merry-go-round, but the need for quality remains unchanged. It is too bad you can meet sharpies now and then that will try to fool you with fake fur instead of the real thing. To stay out of trouble, there are a few ways to check the fur‘s authenticity: first, try rubbing the pile between your fingers; pile of true fur is softer and more tender than that of a fake. High-grade fur is always soft and shining. Moreover, it‘s worth noting that properly processed fur shouldn‘t stiffen after being moistened by snow, and then drying out; if this is what you get, the fur was most likely treated unprofessionally.

Now, here‘s another handy way to help you: grab a hair and parch it carefully. You won‘t be happy with the smell if the fur is real; it will resemble that of burning human hair. Meanwhile, fake fur doesn‘t smell that bad. Needless to say, you can‘t do this test directly on a fur coat; just clip a tiny little bunch of hair beforehand.

Still another reliable way to verify that your fur is natural: at some spot, split up the pile so it faces two ways, and pull it lightly. For natural fur, you should be able to see the leather; however, if the fur is fake, you will see the threadwork backing from which the “hair” emerges.

A general piece of advice is purchasing fur from trusted and known sellers. weddingfur.com is definitely one of those, with the best offers for the highest-quality natural fur accessories for brides, and much more.
