5. How to recognize real fur from synthetic fur?

Comme pour le simili, les fabricants de fourrure synthétique arrivent de mieux en mieux à imiter les fourrures naturelles. Pour autant, grâce à nos petits conseils, vous pourrez encore faire la différence entre les deux ! En effet, le poil se comporte de manière différente lorsque l'on souffle dessus ou qu'on le manipule. La trâme, sur laquelle est posée la fourrure, est également différente. D'un côté, c'est une trâme textile. De l'autre, c'est une véritable peau. Avec ce tuto vidéo animé par Jean-Baptiste, vous aurez tout en main pour faire la différence et reconnaître s'il s'agit d'une vraie fourrure ou d'un modèle synthétique.

Although it is not the only alternative to chrome, this ancestral process is making a comeback. Find out how and why!
