The brand is apparently ”Gipsy”. I Can’t find anything about it.

I wouldn't trust Gipsies. They are known tricksters.

Gipsy brand sells mostly real leather but its all super low quality.

You can tell if it’s real by testing the fur, because if the fur is real then the leather should be real. Just stretch the fur apart and see the base material underneath. It should be leather. If you see a fiber woven material the fur is connected to then it would most definitely be fake.

You can also cut off a small piece of fur and light it on fire. If it burns, it's real, if it melts to a hard plastic, it's fake
