Title: Just a drop of water, genuine leather and artificial leather immediately "show the original form", do not understand the big loss!
Leather goods are undoubtedly an indispensable part of our daily lives. From leather shoes to leather bags, from leather clothes to belts, leather products are everywhere, adding a sense of quality and fashion to our lives. However, have you ever thought that there is an easy way to distinguish between real leather and artificial leather? With just a drop of water, real leather and artificial leather will immediately "show their original shape", and those who don't understand may suffer a big loss!
Storyline 1: Shopping misunderstandings
Xiao Ming is a fashionista, especially for leather goods. One day, he fell in love with a beautiful leather bag in the mall, which looked extraordinarily textured, but the price was unusually cheap. Xiao Ming thought he had picked up a bargain and bought it without hesitation. However, when he walked in the rain with this bag, the leather of the bag began to deform, becoming sticky and mushy, completely losing its original beauty. Xiao Ming realized that what he had bought was a faux leather product, not real leather. If he had known in advance that a drop of water would have been used to identify it, he might have been able to avoid such embarrassment.
Storyline 2: Renovation Traps
Xiaohong is a decoration expert, and she has very high requirements for the quality of home decorations. When it came time to renovate her new home, she decided to buy a leather sofa to add a touch of luxury to the living room. In the process of choosing the sofa, the salesperson told her that all the sofas are made of leather and of good quality. Xiaohong listened to the salesman and bought a set of expensive leather sofas. However, it didn't take long for the surface of the sofa to show signs of cracking and deformation, and it did not have the toughness and durability of leather. Xiaohong regretted that if she had known in advance about using water to identify the authenticity of leather sofas, she might have been able to avoid such a decoration trap.
Storyline 3: The journey is thrilling
Xiao Li is a travelling explorer who loves to explore the mysteries of the world in every possible way. Once, he went on an expedition to the rainforest, bringing with him a backpack that was supposedly waterproof. However, while crossing the rainforest, a sudden rainstorm hits, and Xiao Li's backpack gets wet. To his surprise, as the backpack slowly dried, he found that the leather part of the backpack was deformed and cracked, which was completely different from the genuine leather products. Xiao Li realized that his backpack was not genuine leather, but artificial leather products. If he had known in advance to use water to identify, he might have been able to avoid the thrill of this journey.
The above story reflects the real-life problem of identifying real leather and artificial leather, and all of this can be solved with a drop of water. So, how exactly can a drop of water distinguish between genuine leather and faux leather?
First of all, we need to prepare a drop of water and a piece of cotton cloth. Soak the cotton cloth and gently wipe the surface of the leather goods with your hands. In the case of genuine leather, moisture is absorbed but does not leave a noticeable trace of water, while in the case of artificial leather, moisture slides on the surface and leaves visible water marks.
Secondly, we can gently press the leather surface with our fingers, and genuine leather products will have a soft, elastic feeling, while artificial leather will feel harder and less elastic.
Finally, we can also identify by smelling the smell. Genuine leather products will often have a natural leather smell, while artificial leather will have a chemical-like smell.
Through the above methods, we can easily identify genuine leather and artificial leather, avoid buying inferior leather products, and protect our consumer rights.
In general, just a drop of water can make real leather and artificial leather "appear in its original shape" immediately, and those who don't understand it may suffer a big loss. When buying leather goods, you must choose carefully and pay more attention to avoid being deceived. The little tricks in life are everywhere, and I hope that each of us can find and use them in our daily lives to make life more colorful!
