Method three: drip test. Then we prepare a chopstick, put a few drops of water on the chopstick, put it on the leather, and then see if the leather absorbs water. After waiting for a minute, if the water on the leather disappears completely, it is natural leather, because natural leather is very absorbent, and if the water is not absorbed, it may be artificial leather.

Method four: combustion identification method. For smokers, it is very simple to identify leather, because smokers have lighters in their pockets, and we can use the lighter to burn the leather. If it is natural leather, there will be a smell of burning hair after burning, and it will easily break into powder after burning, while artificial leather will burn more vigorously, shrink rapidly, and have an unpleasant plastic smell after burning. into a hard block.
