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 same → Real 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
