    Hi, I am preparing some accessory blogs and I would like to share some of the articles on these blogs here as well. I hope it will be fun and informative for you.


    It is almost all of our nightmare: buying a fake product that we were so excited about. There might be no worse feeling related to shopping than being scammed. Definitely not something we want you to go through. That is why we decided to equip you with the best information possible on how to tell if a leather wallet is fake or not. See, most people think leather is something that can be faked easily. But the reality is not so simple. There are a lot of leather variants and each has its own distinct features. So, the first thing to do when shopping for a wallet is to ask the store about what type of leather they use on their wallets. There are only two acceptable answers: full grain leather and genuine leather. These two are hides that have been carefully processed to meet the standards of customers and fit any product they are to be used on. That’s why if the answer is something different than these two, or the store owner refuses to give you an open answer, leave and don’t look back. But lying is not something fake wallet dealers repent. So, that's where you come into the play. See, if the wallet in question is a good quality leather wallet, the skin of the wallet will have a distinct, soft reflection on itself. Quality leathers are known for their elegant shine. Remember, the key here is the word elegant. We aren’t looking for a mirror, just a simple shine under light. The next thing you want to look at is leather's ability to bend. The leather should be able to bend and keep its form intact after you release the pressure. Lastly, when you grab the wallet, if you sense a soft and warm touch from the skin, that is also another sign that your leather wallet is genuine.
