Most luxury coats look the same online, but the difference shows in touch and texture. Real fur feels soft, dense, and warm. Fake fur feels rough and uniform. Separate the hairs with your fingers. Real fur reveals leather underneath. Synthetic coats show fabric or mesh. Real fur also reflects light unevenly, creating a natural sheen. Fake fur shines flat and plastic. Always ask the seller for origin certificates. Italian furs include documentation from licensed furriers. This protects your investment and proves authenticity.
