Crocodile leather bags, because of their high value and precious leather, have always been imitated by businesses in pursuit of huge profits. In fact, it is relatively easy to distinguish between true and false crocodile skin through visual and tactile aspects.
The first is the feel: Don't think that it must be a real crocodile if it feels soft. The calfskin with imitation crocodile skin pattern will also feel very soft, but compared with the real crocodile skin, the crocodile skin feels tighter and you can feel it when you press it. The pattern and the inner texture of the leather are closely combined, while the pattern of imitation crocodile leather will feel looser, and you can feel the gaps between the embossed patterns when you press it.
The second is the pores: pores are not the standard for distinguishing the authenticity of crocodile skin. Some people think that those with fine pores must be real crocodile skin, but in fact, those without pores are not necessarily imitation crocodile skin. Real crocodile skin will absorb water and leave behind Dark water marks will change back after a while, and imitation crocodile skin does not absorb water.
The third is the pattern: the pattern of crocodile skin is neat and symmetrical, which does not necessarily mean that it is the best belly leather. The pattern of imitation crocodile leather is more neat. The pattern of real crocodile skin will have subtle changes in the lines, and the curves will be more vivid. The skin lines are arranged in a regular pattern, or change from large to small, or from deep to shallow. The imitation crocodile skin pattern is very rigid and has no vivid feeling.
Fourth, look at the skin texture cross-section. A layer of deep grooves can be seen in the cross-section of the leather grain of real crocodile leather; while imitation crocodile leather has no grooves or shallow grooves.

On the crocodile's back, the raised bones are hard and unevenly distributed. If it were fake, most of the raised bones would be empty and very even. Or many crocodile belts are the same, and generally a belt is made up of several pieces of leather. It is relatively difficult to distinguish between real and fake crocodile belly. He said that it mainly depends on the texture of the skin, which should not be deformed after repeated folding. In fact, as an ordinary consumer, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Even if someone tells you a lot of theoretical knowledge, you still understand it, but there are still problems in actual identification. It won't grow completely symmetrically. The real crocodile skin pattern has subtle changes and the curves are vivid. If you see the symmetrical and perfect surface texture of crocodile leather goods, you will be suspicious. Calf leather imitation crocodile leather feels soft and comfortable, but does not have a tight and tough texture. Real crocodile leather has greater resistance when pressed and better toughness. Crocodiles have unevenly hard scale bones on their back and tail. They are tough and have a certain hardness but not like stone. They won't look exactly the same or very symmetrical. Flexibility determines its extreme resistance to bending. It will not deform after repeated bending and has good recovery properties. Belts made of crocodile skin are usually made of many pieces and are already expensive. Except for first-line luxury goods, it is unbelievable to say that a belt is made of a whole piece of crocodile skin.
To know whether the crocodile leather goods produced by a manufacturer are genuine or fake, good or bad, the easiest way is to check whether they have their own legal crocodile breeding base. Because crocodiles are protected animals in our country, they cannot be processed and used privately without the approval of the national forestry, industry and commerce departments. Each piece of crocodile skin imported from abroad has a separate certificate, and its price is also difficult for ordinary processing plants and customers to accept. Under such circumstances, only domestic crocodile leather brands with large-scale and legal crocodile breeding bases can continue to produce high-quality products and better control costs and selling prices.
