Natural leathers are plump and elastic. It feels soft when pressed, and the pressure disappears quickly when released.
Natural leather absorbs moisture quickly, the wet area darkens and the color returns only when completely dried. Artificial leather repels liquid, the color does not change.
Natural leathers are not cheap. Clothes, shoes and accessories made especially from exotic (python, crocodile, ostrich leathers) are the most expensive. Such products are of high quality. It preserves its original appearance for a long time. Faux leather and natural leather behave differently when set on fire. Genuine leather does not burn quickly and can be deformed.
