First, observe the appearance:
Touch: leather belt often has a soft and smooth touch. Gently touch the surface of the belt with your finger, if it feels warm and soft, it may be genuine leather. Fake belts usually feel harder or synthetic material texture.
Texture: Genuine leather belts usually have a natural texture on the surface, which is characteristic of the skin. Look closely at the surface of the leather for fine textures, such as leather grain or pores, which are distinctive features of genuine leather. Fake belts may have printed texture or no obvious texture.
Elasticity: Genuine leather belts have a certain degree of elasticity and can be restored to their original shape after stretching. You can gently tug on the belt to see if it quickly returns to flatness. Fake belts may lose their shape or recover more slowly.
Smell:
Genuine leather has a unique odor and usually gives off a light leather smell. Put the belt against your nose and notice if you can smell the odor. If there is no obvious odor or irritating chemical odor, it may be artificial materials made of fake belts.
Third, check the edge and internal structure:
Edge: The edge of the leather belt usually shows a slim and neat cut, no obvious bonding lines or traces. Gently touch the edge of the belt with your hand and feel whether it is smooth. If you see obvious glue marks or multiple layers of laminated material on the edge of the belt, it may be a fake belt.
Internal structure: Some belts are marked or labeled internally with material information. If you have a chance to look at the structure of the belt, look for words like "Genuine Leather". However, it should be noted that some fake products may also add such a label, so the authenticity of the belt can not be fully determined by the label.

Formal stores or official websites through the provision of real product information and sales services, and these brands often have a good reputation and word of mouth when you buy can choose to cooperate with the brand of authorized retailers or official online stores, avoid buying in informal channels to ensure that you get a leather belt.
