1. How to identify genuine silk?
You can identify genuine silk by looking, touching, burning, and washing it.
1. Observe the sheen (most important)
Characteristics of genuine silk:
• Soft, layered sheen
• Flowing, pearlescent quality that changes with the angle
• Not a "dead shine"
Imitation silk/polyester:
• Strong reflectivity, whitish appearance
• Monotonous sheen, obvious plastic look
👉 Tip: Compare by swaying the silk fabric left and right under natural light
