Although we assure that the silk products we sell are 100% authentic, the wide range of silk types can confuse buyers who are unfamiliar with unconventional silk fabrics. This may lead them to mistakenly believe that the fabric is counterfeit. To help everyone distinguish genuine silk, we offer the following simple method.

The easiest way to test real silk is through the "burning test." Follow these steps:

1. Take a small piece of the fabric or thread you want to test.

2. Use a lighter or matchstick to ignite one end of the fabric/thread.

3. Observe the burning characteristics:

- Genuine silk will burn slowly and have a smell similar to burning hair or feathers. The flame will self-extinguish after removing the heat source. The ash left behind will be black, crispy, and brittle.

- Fake silk or synthetic materials will burn more quickly and may have a smell like burning plastic or chemicals. The flame may continue to burn even after removing the heat source. The residue left behind may be hard, lumpy, or melted.

Remember to exercise caution when performing the burning test and ensure you are in a safe environment to avoid accidents.
