How to Identify Real vs. Faux Fur Safely?

If You Paid for Real Fur but Got Faux Fur — Will You Regret It?

Many buyers worry about being cheated — paying a real fur price but receiving fake fur instead.
This happens often in the market, especially online.

But the good news is:
👉 There is one simple test that will tell you immediately whether the fur is real or fake — without damaging the coat.

🔥 The One Tip You Need:

Burn ONE loose fallen hair. That’s all.

Not the coat.
Not the fabric.
Just some tiny loose strand.

1️⃣ Collect Fallen Hairs

Look for small loose fibers around:

  • seams
  • inside the lining
  • the sewing table
  • the garment bag

Even one or two strands are enough, and you don’t harm the coat at all.


2️⃣ Burn a Fallen Fur Fiber (Only the Loose Hair)

Use tweezers and burn the strand for just a second.

✔️ Real Fur

  • Burns like human hair
  • Smells like burnt hair
  • Shrivels instantly
  • Turns into soft, crumbly ash

✔️ Faux Fur

  • Melts like plastic
  • Smells chemical or synthetic
  • Forms a small hard bead
  • No soft ash

The difference is very obvious even for beginners.


3️⃣ Use Your Own Hair as a Comparison

Burn one tiny strand of your own hair.
This gives you a clear “reference point,” because real fur is made of keratin just like human hair.

What you’ll see from your hair:

  • Burns quickly
  • Smells like burnt hair
  • Leaves powdery ash

Now compare it with the fallen fur fiber:

  • If the coat’s fiber behaves the sameReal fur
  • If it melts and becomes plastic-like → Faux fur

Why This Method Is 100% Safe

  • You don’t burn the coat
  • You don’t cut any fabric
  • You only use naturally fallen hairs
  • It’s extremely accurate
  • Professionals and QC teams use the same technique
